Bronte: Where Coastal Living Meets Community

13 Jun 2025

Bronte is more than just a beachside suburb; it’s a community with heart. Nestled between the rolling waves of its iconic beach and the lush green folds of the gully, Bronte captures the easy rhythm of coastal living while fostering a deep sense of connection. Families, surfers, creatives and long-time locals come together in a neighbourhood that’s as welcoming as it is beautiful. It’s this rare blend of natural splendour and genuine community spirit that gives Bronte its enduring appeal and being part of that is at the heart of PPD’s ethos. Alexander Phillips recently raised an incredible $75,000 for Bronte Public School through a commission-free auction prize. “It feels great to give back, and that amount of money goes a long way for a small school,” says Alexander.

This week, we’re showcasing a standout collection of homes that reflect the best of Bronte living, and with momentum rising, now is a great time to act before the market really takes off later in the year.

Alexander Phillips’ listing at 23 Read Street, Bronte offers more than just an exceptional home, it’s a lifestyle purchase in one of the best neighbourhoods. Just one street back from Bronte Public School, the five-bedroom home is tailored for family life with a flexible layout, multiple living areas, a luxurious parents’ retreat and rear lane access to garaging.

One of the closest freestanding homes to the sand, 499 Bronte Road, Bronte has been crafted to integrate with the landscape and take full advantage of its epic vantage point with a 50m frontage to the coastal vista affording breathtaking northerly views over the beach. Designed by Corben Architects and set on over 500sqm, the five-bedroom home features every luxury from a heated pool and multiple living areas to a home office and double garage accessed via Pacific Street.

Around the corner from the school, 18 Dickson Street, Bronte is a beautifully renovated two-storey semi in a sought-after spot and complete with a double garage and studio loft, plus a versatile attic retreat perfect as a playroom or additional living space. Open for inspection by private appointment, 383 Bronte Road, Bronte is set on a prime dual access block in the dress-circle of Bronte just 600m to the beach.
