Manning Road starts at Finch Street in the Gascoigne Estate. There, large allotments (many exceeding 1,000 sqm) contain beautiful Federation Homes dating from the original 1880s subdivision. Large trees of similar age beautifully shade the street - a postcard image of Melbourne.

Across Burke Road, newer luxury homes mix with the traditional styles including Edwardian, California Bungalow and interwar.

The vast majority of dwellings on the street are houses (rather than units or townhouses) and are occupied by owner-occupiers (rather than tenants).

These homes come with a high price, with most sales in the $2m - $5m range. The top reported sale price on the street is $6.1m, but other homes might exceed that level if offered to the market.

Malvern East is a well-located suburb in Melbourne's south-east approximately 10km from the central business district.
There are brilliant parks (such as Central Park, Hedgeley Dene and Gardiner's Creek Trail).
Public primary schools are highly regarded (such as Malvern Primary School - which is located in Malvern East address - and Lloyd Street) and also access to top private schools such as Korowa, Sacre Coeur, Caulfield Grammar, St Mary's (primary only) and De La Salle (nearby, in Malvern).
The vibe is a bit more "down to earth" than nearby Malvern, Armadale and Toorak.
Most streets are well-presented with a mix of traditional and new homes.
The Gascoigne Estate to the eastern extent is very much sought after for its heritage-listed Federation homes (most dating to the 1880s) on generous allotments.
There are good public transport links with train stations at Caulfield, Carnegie, Darling, Malvern East and Holmesglen servicing the area.
For shopping, Chadstone is the largest centre in the Southern Hemisphere. There is also a good mix at Koornang Road, Carnegie (just to the other side of Dandenong Road) - including Woolworths, Aldi, Coles, Spotlight and a variety of restaurants and small shops. In the other direction, Malvern Central and Glenferrie Road are within a short drive.
Malvern East is also very close to the "demographic centre" of Melbourne because there is greater population in the south-east than in the west.
