Located between Mordialloc and Moorabbin Airport, Braeside covers around 4.5 square kilometres and is home to a small residential population of about 1,200 people, primarily in the northern pocket of the suburb. The area is characterised by large industrial and commercial estates and is known as one of Melbourne's key manufacturing and logistics hubs.

The suburb is well-connected via the Nepean Highway and EastLink tollway, making it highly accessible for businesses and residents alike. Nearby suburbs such as Mordialloc, Parkdale, and Mentone offer beach access, dining, and retail amenities within a short drive.
