Median figures in a small, heritage constrained suburb move sharply with the mix of stock that happens to sell, so read them alongside the size splits below.
IllustrationCoreLogic data published by Your Investment Property for the 12 months to April 2026 puts the East Melbourne median unit price at $677,500, with a median unit rent of $680 per week and a gross yield near 4.6 per cent. That median blends compact 1970s and 1980s stock with a small number of very expensive new residences.
Domain's suburb profile splits that picture by size, with a one bedroom median around $512,500, two bedrooms near $690,000 and three bedroom apartments above $2.4 million. The gap reflects a small pool of large parkside residences trading well above the everyday stock, so buyers should compare like with like rather than the headline median.
