About Chelsea Heights
Chelsea Heights is a quiet residential suburb in Melbourne's southeastern bayside corridor, located 31 kilometres from the CBD within the City of Kingston. With a population of around 5,400, it sits between the beachside suburb of Chelsea and the larger Edithvale and Aspendale areas. The suburb has a predominantly family-oriented demographic with established homes on generous blocks, attracting residents who value space and proximity to the bay.
The lifestyle here blends suburban tranquility with easy beach access — Chelsea Beach and the foreshore are just minutes away. Residents enjoy Patterson River for fishing and boating, plus several local parks and reserves. Shopping is centred on nearby Southland and Chelsea Village, while dining options cluster along the Nepean Highway corridor. The suburb appeals to young families and downsizers seeking affordable bayside living without the premium of neighbouring Chelsea or Mentone.
