Average rent in Braeside, VIC — 2026

Braeside is one of the more expensive parts of Victoria to rent in — the typical renter pays $504/week, around 39% above the state median of $363/week (ABS Census 2021). Most households here own (around 20% are owners or paying a mortgage), and the suburb is mostly separate houses (80%) rather than units. That mix usually means a smaller, slower-turnover rental pool than in inner-city areas at a similar price. The suburb sits 25km from Melbourne, with a population of around 31 and a median age of 56. The biggest occupation category is Technicians and Trades Workers. Renters often wait longer here, and inspections fill quickly when stock does come up.
