About South Brighton
Housing is a mix of post-war homes, 1960s and 1970s brick houses and a growing number of new builds. Many original blocks have been subdivided, so modern townhouses and two-storey homes now sit beside older houses on streets like Silver Avenue, Lewis Street and Yarmouth Street. There is also a fair share of units and small unit groups.
Brighton and Seacliff beaches are a short walk or ride away, with the Glenelg to Seacliff coastal path running along the foreshore. Brighton and Seacliff stations on the Seaford line are close by, and Brighton Road gives a direct run north to Glenelg. Jetty Road Brighton has cafes, restaurants and the local hotel.
