Buyer’s Agent Caulfield, 3163, Caulfield South 3162, & Caulfield North, 3161.

Caulfield holds a distinctive place in Melbourne’s south-east, shaped by its racing heritage at Caulfield Racecourse and its strong ties to Monash University’s nearby campus.

The property market here spans a wide range — grand Victorian and Edwardian homes on generous blocks near the racecourse, elegant art deco apartment buildings from the 1930s and 40s, and a growing number of modern apartment and townhouse developments catering to students, young professionals, and investors.

Buyers might be weighing up a period home near Caulfield Park, an art deco apartment close to Caulfield station, or a newer townhouse within easy reach of Chapel Street and the Glen Huntly Road shopping strip.

With its excellent train links, proximity to prestigious schools like Caulfield Grammar, and strong rental demand driven by the student population, Caulfield remains a popular choice for families, investors, and downsizers seeking inner-suburban convenience with a touch of old Melbourne charm.

About Caulfield, Caulfield South & Caulfield North

Mystery surrounds the origin of the name. Although the area is thought to have been named after John Caulfield, a Melbourne pioneer who helped establish the School of Fine Arts and Mechanics Institute (now the Melbourne Athenaeum) in Collins Street in 1839, he had no direct connection to the Caulfield district.

Caulfield, roughly 11kms south-east of the CBD, is an enormous suburb, often broken down into Caulfield North and Caulfield South.

Caulfield is largely a homey, family-oriented residential area with a significant Jewish community adding a distinctive culture to the area. It’s also home to a lot of independent spirits who like the roomier houses and quiet streets that still feel quite close to the action.

Clusters of cafes and small grocers are here and there, plus a major supermarket at Caulfield Plaza. It’s also two minutes to Malvern, Elsternwick and Balaclava, so there is easy access to great restaurants and shopping in every direction. 

There are many schools, both public and private, in the area and it’s incredibly well serviced for public transport, with buses, four tram routes and Caulfield Station.

Caulfield’s streets are pretty, green and prestigious, dense with immaculate period family homes, from California bungalows to mid-century houses and handsome Edwardians, with good-sized gardens. Art Deco apartments and cute retro units in the smaller streets and many contemporary apartment developments on the main thoroughfares like Balaclava, Inkerman and Hawthorn Roads are also seen in Caulfield.
