Cheltenham, VIC 3192
Overview
Cheltenham sits 18 km south‑east of Melbourne’s CBD, split between the Bayside and Kingston councils and home to 23,992 residents (2021 Census). The suburb offers 13 parks (5.3 % of its area), several golf courses and active sports clubs, while Westfield Southland, DFO Moorabbin and Kingston Central Plaza deliver over 400 retail stores, a cinema and a monthly farmers market. Ongoing gentrification adds a mix of modern apartments, post‑war homes and new townhouses.
Cheltenham is well served by public transport, with Cheltenham station on the Frankston line (opened 1881) and the newer Southland station serving the shopping hub; both were rebuilt in 2020. Bus routes connect the centre, Warrigal Road and Park Road, and the suburb is the starting point for the Suburban Rail Loop, slated to begin tunnelling in 2026. A major activity centre within 400 m of the station underpins a lively lifestyle and diverse housing options.
