10 Streets in Caulfield North You’ve Probably Never Heard Of (But Wish You Had)

Caulfield North is full of surprises.

While most locals know the big-name roads — Balaclava, Orrong, Hawthorn, and Inkerman — some of the suburb’s most charming, peaceful, and prestigious streets are the ones you’ve probably never even driven down.

These are the groves, avenues, and courts that don’t make the front page but are quietly prized by those lucky enough to live on them.

If you’re planning to buy, build, or just walk your dog somewhere new — here are 10 Caulfield North streets worth discovering.

1. Manor Grove

Why it’s special: Only seven homes. Backs onto Labassa Mansion. No through traffic. Vibe: Discreet, historic, and ultra-private. Google Maps: View Manor Grove

Most locals have never walked down Manor Grove. Fewer still know it exists. It’s tucked away behind heritage gardens, with almost no visible entry — and that’s part of the reason it’s one of the suburb’s most tightly held addresses.

2. Octavius Avenue

Why it’s special: Quiet cul-de-sac with long-time residents and very low turnover. Vibe: Calm, family-oriented, off-grid Google Maps: View Octavius Avenue

A short, peaceful street with classic brick homes and little to no foot traffic. Ideal for those who value privacy.

3. Avoca Grove

Why it’s special: Narrow and serene, with a mix of updated homes and untouched charm. Vibe: Green, quiet, neighbourly Google Maps: View Avoca Grove

Avoca Grove doesn’t get much attention — which is exactly why it appeals to those who know it.

4. Malonga Court

Why it’s special: Tucked off a residential street, with little visibility and no cut-through access. Vibe: Simple, no-nonsense peace and quiet Google Maps: View Malonga Court

Small but mighty. Its location off Ferrars Grove makes it hard to find — and hard to leave.

5. Sagamore Court

Why it’s special: Understated family street near Hawthorn Road. Vibe: Modest, friendly, low-key Google Maps: View Sagamore Court

No frills, no traffic, and a short walk to coffee and the tram. It’s not Instagram-famous — just easy to live on.

6. Wilks Street

Why it’s special: A wide and peaceful local road, hidden in plain sight. Vibe: Wide verges, big blocks, slower rhythm Google Maps: View Wilks Street

It connects a few key streets — but most people drive past without realising how nice it is. Look closer.

7. Nyora Grove

Why it’s special: Set back from Glen Eira Road with a beautiful canopy of trees. Vibe: Quiet charm with long-term owner energy Google Maps: View Nyora Grove

A great example of a street that doesn’t need PR — it just needs to be walked once to be understood.

8. Labassa Grove

Why it’s special: Near Labassa Mansion, with period charm and heritage flavour Vibe: Low-traffic, old-world feel Google Maps: View Labassa Grove

Quiet, character-filled, and visually appealing. A great alternative to the louder streets nearby.

9. Aroona Road (South Section)

Why it’s special: The southern portion offers one of the most peaceful walks in Caulfield North. Vibe: Elevated, green, and unexpectedly quiet Google Maps: View Aroona Road

Divided by Inkerman Road, Aroona’s lower half has a much calmer personality.

10. Hawthorn Grove

Why it’s special: Small, tucked between major roads — but easy to miss. Vibe: Residential pocket hiding in plain sight Google Maps: View Hawthorn Grove

Used mostly by residents, Hawthorn Grove is one of the few streets that still feels a little like old Caulfield.

What Makes a Street “Unknown”?

Some streets are forgotten because they’re quiet. Others because they’re not flashy. But the best ones — like those above — are known only to those who truly know the suburb.

These are the places that rarely show up on real estate shortlists. And that’s exactly why they’re worth discovering.
