Kingston (Vic.), Victoria
The suburb where money already made meets a website still stuck in 2014.
Mentone is bayside, but it isn't a beach economy. Kingston's largest sector is construction, 3,339 businesses across the council area, with professional and scientific services close behind at 2,452, and together they say who's actually earning here: tradies working through the suburb's older housing stock and consultants who commute five minutes then run half their week from a home office. Median family income sits at $2,604 a week and the median age is 42, both pointing at a suburb with money already made rather than money still arriving. The beach draws people through on weekends, but the businesses paying the rent here are trades and professional services, not tourism.
Household income here is $1,889 a week, comfortably above the Victorian median, which is why the electrician working three streets back from the station is quoting big rewiring jobs and still losing half of them to a competitor in Mordialloc with a site that loads properly on a phone. Mentone customers research before they call: they compare, they check a gallery of finished work, and they expect a booking form that doesn't die on mobile. A physio near the station, a cafe on the main strip and a mortgage broker working the older housing stock are all selling into the same buyer, someone who can afford to pay properly and won't tolerate a site that looks like it was built a decade ago. Under 25s make up 25.6% of the suburb, so whoever inherits the house next door is judging that same website from a phone while they scroll.

FAQ
Mentone questions.
It depends on what you need. A trade or service site for an electrician, plumber or physio typically runs $3,200 – $8,000. A professional practice or real estate site sits between $4,000 – $9,500. A retail or hospitality build for a cafe or boutique is usually $3,500 – $9,500. You'll get three fixed-price quotes from vetted developers so you can compare before committing to anything.
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. FindDevs matches you with three vetted Australian developers based on your brief, not your postcode. What matters is that they understand a bayside, professional suburb like this one: mobile-first, fast to load, and built for customers who compare before they call. You get three fixed-price quotes to choose from, not a single developer assigned to your job.
Yes. Construction is the largest sector across the Kingston council area, with 3,339 businesses, so trade sites are a big part of what gets built here: booking forms, service area pages, before-and-after galleries and a phone number that's easy to find. The same process works for retail, hospitality, professional services or real estate, priced and quoted the same way, three quotes in 24 hours.
