Market Trends: Walk to Beach

‘Walk to Beach’: When these three little words are included in a property’s list of features, a big boost in home value is on the horizon.

Promising an idyllic and relaxed way of living, the ability to ‘walk to the beach’ is always considered desirable. Early morning swimmers, afternoon joggers, or sunset strollers – beachside locals celebrate daily the benefits of the beautiful natural environment and fabulous amenities that line our foreshores, including cycling and walking trails, cafes and kiosks, expanses of parkland, sailing and life-saving clubs. And during the busy summer months there’s no need to battle the hordes of day-trippers for a car park – simply pack your beach bag, drape your towel over your shoulder and stroll to the sand.

No matter what the season or the reason, living close to your local beach offers a privileged way of life that is highly sought after by home buyers. With offices in Port Phillip, Bayside and the Mornington Peninsula, Marshall White has plenty of properties listed with ‘walk to beach’ included in their list of features.
