Highett is located in the prestigious Bayside suburbs of Melbourne only a 3-minute drive to the beach and 25 minutes from the CBD. There are plenty of parks and with Southland Shopping Centre just a stone's throw away, plenty of shopping as well. Highett has seen an enormous increase in cafes and restaurants over the last 24 months as the population has increased with the construction of some large prestige apartment complexes that have been designed to perfectly blend in with the large family homes in the area which cost between $1 million to $2 million dollars. It has an enormous amount of primary and secondary schools in and around it. Highett has been named in almost every single property investment guide as a "hot spot" for 2013.
