Before you buy
Hampton is a Stage 1 centre in the state's Train and Tram Zone Activity Centres Program, whose Stage 1 centre plans were finalised in March 2026. The plan applied maximum heights of eight storeys for the majority of Hampton Street, with a maximum of 12 storeys for some locations, and applied the heritage main street typology along Hampton Street, where the Heritage Overlay already applies. It covers the centre's core and catchment, not the whole suburb. Check whether the address is inside the plan's area.
Bayside's Heritage Overlay schedule lists the Castlefield Precinct, the Orlando Street Precinct and the Hampton Street Precinct with Hampton addresses, and individual places such as the Hampton Baby Health Centre at 483 Hampton Street and the Hampton Uniting Church at 17 Service Street. The schedule gives no street extents for the precincts; they are on the planning scheme maps. Check the address there before you plan works.
On our map reading, parts of Hampton are in the Special Building Overlay, which Bayside introduced in 2002 for land Melbourne Water identified as affected by natural overland flows in a 1 in 100 year storm, with boundaries updated in 2019. Parts are also in Design and Development Overlay schedules DDO1, DDO2, DDO3, DDO13, DDO14 and DDO15. Check the address against the overlays before you make an offer.
Bayside's Coastal and Marine Management Plan covers the coastal areas of Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham, Black Rock and Beaumaris. Council endorsed it on 17 June 2025, and the council's page lists state endorsement as anticipated in 2026.
Metro Trains lists Hampton Railway Station at Hampton Street and Railway Crescent, Hampton, in Zone 2.
The Department of Education's 2026 list gives Hampton Primary School a Hampton address, at 528 Hampton Street. We found no government secondary school with a Hampton address. Check the school zone for the address if you are counting on a place.
Homes Victoria's moving annual median rent for the Hampton-Beaumaris group, for leases that began in the year to September 2025, was $650 a week for a two-bedroom flat, $895 for a three-bedroom house and $750 across all properties. That is the September quarter 2025 report, the latest published at 25 October 2026, and the all-properties figure rests on 1,012 leases. The report names the group Hampton-Beaumaris, so the figure is not Hampton's alone.
At the 2021 Census, 62.0% of Hampton homes were separate houses, 22.7% were semi-detached, row or terrace houses or townhouses and 14.2% were flats or apartments.
