Bayonet Head

Bayonet Head is one of Albany’s fastest-growing residential pockets, offering a relaxed coastal lifestyle at an affordable price. Until the 1980s, it was known as Flinders Park, and is now popular with families, first-home buyers and investors. Living here feels like you’re miles from care, yet you can enjoy everyday convenience with Albany’s CBD just 10 minutes’ drive away.

This family-friendly suburb has plenty going for it. Flinders Park Primary School is a key drawcard for young families, while the abundance of local parks, including the well-loved Lange Park, means kids have room to play. Its position on Oyster Harbour makes it easy to enjoy on-the-water activities, with several homes orientated to take advantage of those spectacular outlooks.

Bayonet Head delivers a real mix of housing. The “older part” has character-filled homes from the 70s through to the 90s, often on larger blocks with established gardens. In contrast, Oyster Harbour – the newer estate area – features modern brick and tile homes on smaller blocks, ideal for low-maintenance living. Increasingly, contemporary builds are appearing on elevated streets, designed to capture sweeping harbour views.

With affordability, growth potential and a strong community feel, Bayonet Head is a suburb where families can put down roots while investors enjoy long-term rewards. It’s a great place to call home and there’s still plenty of value and growth potential to be had in this thriving part of Albany.
