Only 10 True Cul-de-Sacs Exist in Caulfield North — Here They Are

Caulfield North is renowned for its quiet charm, historic homes, and leafy streets — but even in this established suburb, true privacy is hard to find.

Enter the cul-de-sac. A street with no through traffic. No shortcuts. Just stillness.

While many roads in Caulfield North may feel quiet, only a small number qualify as true cul-de-sacs — fully enclosed, residential-only streets that offer maximum privacy, minimal movement, and often, the strongest sense of community.

We mapped them all. There are just 10. And if you live on one of them, you already know what makes these streets so special.

Here they are — Caulfield North’s rarest residential pockets.

1. Manor Grove

Description: Home to just seven freestanding homes, Manor Grove is one of Caulfield North’s most private and historically rich streets. Nestled behind the grand Labassa Mansion — a 35-room 19th-century estate built by millionaire Alexander Robertson — this short, tree-lined street is almost invisible to passers-by. There’s no through traffic, no development pressure, and almost no turnover. Many locals aren’t even aware it exists — and that’s part of its charm.

Description: Kiers Court is one of Caulfield North’s smallest cul-de-sacs — but that only adds to its appeal. Surrounded by well-kept family homes, it’s a great example of low-density living in a well-connected location.

6. Rosecraddock Place

• Location: Off Wilks Street, near Hawthorn Road

7. Tennis Grove

• Location: Off Glen Eira Road, near Orrong Road

• Google Maps: View Tennis Grove

  
  

  

  
  

Description: Although not a textbook cul-de-sac (it ends in a pedestrian laneway), Tennis Grove functions exactly like one for vehicle traffic. Quiet, shaded, and home to a variety of updated residences, it’s a favourite among those who want charm and calm in equal measure.

8. Avoca Grove

• Location: Off Inkerman Road, near Kooyong Road

• Google Maps: View Avoca Grove

10. Newington Grove

• Location: Off Balaclava Road, near Halstead Street

• Google Maps: View Newington Grove

  
  

  

  
  

Description: While technically not a dead-end, Newington Grove ends in a bend that discourages cut-through traffic. The result is a street that behaves like a cul-de-sac, with wide blocks, leafy gardens, and excellent proximity to schools and Caulfield Park.
