Caulfield North, VIC 3161

My partner and I recently moved to Caulfield North and the area ticks all our boxes as a young professional couple.

The area is well serviced by trams and Caulfield station is a major train junction. It takes 30-35 minutes to commute door-to-door by train into my building in the CBD with trains typically going through Caulfield station every 5 minutes.

Caulfield Park (~2.3km perimeter on the running track) is lovely and is like a smaller version of the Botanical Gardens or Princes Park. Caulfield Racecourse is open to the public too and the huge area inside the racetrack provides ample space for dog-owners to let their pets run off-lead.

The recently opened Caulfield Village has improved amenity with brand new Coles, Asian grocery, pharmacies, hairdressers, barbers and eateries.

There's an abundance of great cafes and specialist grocery stores, particularly around the Hawthorn Road / Balaclava Road junction. The area is quiet and safe in the evenings but is still close to suburbs with more action in the evening (i.e Elsternwick, Armadale, South Yarra).

There are lots of great childcare options and the area is zoned for Malvern Primary, Caulfield Junior College and Caulfield Primary School (which are all very well-resourced and highly regarded).

We are 10mins walk to Caulfield Park which has everything - great for dog walkers, sports enthusiasts or a picnic with friends on a nice day.
Transport is also really strong with Caulfield station again only 10mins walk in the other direction which has a fast train service to the CBD - great for the daily work commute. This suburb is also really close to Monash University, Chadstone Shopping Centre and other key inner east hubs. Trams down to St Kilda and Elsternwick are really handy for a change of scenery. Being a short 10 minute drive to Elwood and other beach suburbs is also fantastic on sunny weekends or for evening walks along the coastline. Schools in the area are regarded as some of the best in Victoria and cafes, shopping centers and entertainment are never far away if you need it. Would recommend this suburb to anyone.

I currently have an apartment for lease on Hawthorn Road and have recently explored the area. There are great public transport links with a number of trains close to Hawthorn Rd. The hustle and bustle of Hawthorn Rd is the melting pot of the suburb and there is a real sense of community.

Best Suburb in Melbourne - ask Amber

We moved in few weeks ago and are amazed and extremely delighted with the convenience. Shopping, eating, tram, train etc....all within waling distance. It is peaceful and tranquil even though is near to city. Great place that you won't regret living in.

A hidden gem, close to everything you need, especially good food, other great suburbs, excellent parks and schools - and very quiet and easy to get around on weekends when you want and need it to be. An extremely pretty, convenient and peaceful suburb right in the heart of Melbourne's best suburbs where you can achieve an excellent balance if you work close to the city.

Caulfield North is an extremely great suburb. Good infra-structures surrounded by 2 train lines and numerous tram services. Excellent neighbourhood and good schools and shopping areas.

I've lived in Caulfield North for a few years now and love it. It's close to great shopping districts: High St, Glenferrie Rd and Chapel St to name but a few! Public transport is excellent with everything you could need a short walk or tram ride away. One doesn't have to travel far to find good coffee either; with cafe Eco Blue around the corner on Orrong Rd.

An ideal location for anyone who needs fantastic access to public transport, including families or professionals, Caulfield North is home to over 14,000 people.

Caulfield North is surrounded by suburbs such as Prahran, Armadale, Malvern, St Kilda East and Elsternwick and has an average property price tag of almost $890,000. It was the home town of TV personality Graham Kennedy, who attended what is now Caulfield Junior College.

Caulfield North is a reasonable area not too far from the city with good public transport access.
Close by there are all the main shops you could need and if its not at the local then its not far to St Kilda Chadstone or the city.
If you like getting down to the beach then St Kilda isn’t too far.
The area has a good blend of people from young singles through to younger families. With Caulfield Park close by it’s a great spot for those that like to take their kids to run and run and run, and for runners and walkers it makes a reasonable spot to walk.
If you’re looking for nightlife, there are a few places close by.
