Alternate search: Unit 1, 265 High Street.
1/265 High Street is a unit, offering low‑maintenance living within the Belmont suburb.
The unit is located on High Street, the primary arterial road that runs from Geelong’s centre toward Colac and crosses the Barwon River via a four‑lane bridge.
High Street is serviced by several bus routes that connect Belmont with Geelong, Highton, Grovedale, Waurn Ponds and Deakin University. Historically, a tram line also ran along High Street until 1956.
The property is close to the High Street shopping strip, the Belmont Post Office (about 0.7 km away), and parks such as Alexander Webb Park (≈0.8 km), Larcombe Park (≈1.4 km) and Belmont Park (≈1.6 km).
Belmont Common, which lies east of the Barwon River, is known to be flood‑prone during heavy rain. The unit is on the older, hill‑top area of High Street, which is generally above the low‑lying flood zones.
High Street has long been a key corridor, with a historic bridge over the Barwon River and a tram service that operated from 1927 to 1956. The suburb’s development grew around this route after the 1926 bridge and tram extension.
Residents can enjoy the extensive Belmont Common, offering walking and cycling paths, the Barwon Valley Public Golf Course, and various sporting ovals and reserves such as Winter Reserve and McDonald Reserve within a few kilometres.
