Caulfield is a residential area first and foremost. Glen Huntly Road’s few cafés are the perfect spot for chatty neighbours to catch up over bagels and newspapers, while children ride their bikes through the area’s wide and welcoming streets. Locals are more likely to while away their spare time lounging in one of the neighbourhood’s many lush, green parks than indulging in late night revelry. As a result, the drinking, dining and shopping scenes are somewhat limited – this doesn’t pose a problem thanks to Caulfield’s buzzy neighbouring suburbs.
However, the action does come to town in the form of the Caulfield Cup – the glitz and glamour of the annual racing carnival brings the area to life. Otherwise, it’s all about that laid-back lifestyle.
