5/156 Pigdons Road, Highton VIC 3216
2-bed townhouse, low-maintenance enclave | rental-active near Deakin/Epworth | garden-view balcony, modern finishes | suits first-timers, downsizers, investors
This townhouse is positioned within a modern, low-rise cluster of similar dwellings, and it is considered one of the smaller, efficient formats in a suburb that is otherwise dominated by detached family houses. The compact design is supported by a functional layout that typically includes two bedrooms, up to two bathrooms, and a single car space, which is a configuration that is strongly sought after by tenants and owner-occupiers alike. Its location near Deakin University and Epworth Hospital provides a reliable pool of renters and buyers, while the low-maintenance aspect makes it an attractive alternative to a traditional house for those looking to reduce upkeep without leaving the area. The best fit is likely a first-home buyer, an investor seeking yield, or a downsizer who wants contemporary, lock-and-leave living in a convenient suburban pocket.
Factors that may affect value include the exact floor level and aspect, which are not immediately evident from the listing materials, and these can influence both light and privacy. The presence of both furnished and unfurnished rentals in the immediate complex might indicate some lots are held for short-term accommodation, which could affect the sense of permanence for an owner-occupier. The condition and presentation of the individual townhouse, along with any updates or wear, may also have a material impact on how it compares with other lots in the same enclave. Buyers are encouraged to review the body corporate fees and any overlay restrictions that may apply to the broader parcel, as these could affect long-term occupancy and resale.

Market Insight
Highton, an established Geelong suburb, draws first-home buyers and investors; 29.4% of house sales sit between $650k and $749,999, and 30.2% of units between $500k and $599,999. Q4 2025 data puts the median house price at $790,000 with 5.7% annual growth; units at $545,000 with 5.1%. Sales rose 6.6% for houses and 61.9% for units year-on-year. Rental supply for houses fell 16.5% to 237 listings, underpinning a 3.1% gross yield; units yield 4.3%. The $740.7 million project pipeline is inadequate—only 15 houses, 41 townhouses and 39 units planned against 410 quarterly sales. This undersupply, combined with sensitivity to interest rates, will sustain price pressure.
