Local Insights Edition 13: Greater Charlestown

Fernleigh Track, Kahibah

The beach and its lifestyle is a priority to those calling 2290 their home, with the amazing beach suburbs of Dudley and Redhead, the incredibly popular Highfields and Kahibah, not to mention Whitebridge, playing host to some of the most impressive real estate in the region along Burwood Road.

The Fernleigh Track is a highlight through the area, connecting the inner suburbs through to Whitebridge all the way to Belmont.

Always attractive to families, this entire area on the cusp of the lake and beach offers the best of both worlds at attractive price points for first and second home buyers.
