103/22 Bent Street, Bentleigh VIC 3204

2 bed, 2 bath, 1 car | Bentleigh pocket | McKinnon zone | 70m² modern flat The competitive edge here is the McKinnon Secondary College zone combined with a genuinely functional two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout in a low-maintenance flat—rare in this price tier. For a downsizer or investor, the second bathroom removes a common friction point, and the 70m² floor plan is generous enough to avoid feeling cramped. The property sits in a prized pocket of Bentleigh with walkable transport and shops, which supports both owner-occupier demand and rental resilience. This is a sensible entry point for someone who wants the school zone without the house price tag. The main risk is the unit’s position within a larger complex of 1,869m², which can mean higher body corporate fees and less control over future levies. Buyers should scrutinise the sinking fund and recent special levies. There is no heritage or overlay protection, so the site’s redevelopment potential is not a factor here. The value proposition is straightforward: hold for the school zone and capital growth driven by land value in the suburb, or rent for steady yield. Either way, this flat works best as a long-term hold rather than a quick flip.
