If you’ve been wondering how much a Melbourne apartment costs, you’re not alone — it’s one of the most common questions among Vietnamese investors looking to own property in Australia. The Melbourne CBD market — particularly the Collins Street precinct — is drawing strong capital inflows from Asian investors, thanks to its prime location, world-class infrastructure, and stable rental demand.


What Factors Affect Melbourne Apartment Prices?

Before looking at the price table, it’s important to understand the key factors that influence apartment prices in Melbourne:

  • Location: Apartments within the CBD (Central Business District) are consistently 20–40% higher than suburban areas.
  • Floor level and view: High-floor units with views of the Yarra River or city skyline typically command a 10–20% premium over comparable units.
  • Actual size: Studio ~41m², 1BR ~56m², 2BR ~89m², 3BR ~135m².
  • Heritage vs. brand-new: Projects that incorporate historic architecture gain long-term value through scarcity and cultural significance.
  • Onsite amenities: 5-star facilities (pool, spa, co-working, gym) carry a price premium over standard developments.
