Caulfield North’s Quietest Streets — Ranked

Not every buyer wants quiet — but those who do, really do.

Whether it’s for raising children, working from home, or simply enjoying some peace after years of city noise, quiet streets are rising in value. And in Caulfield North, the contrast is clear: some streets carry the hum of daily movement, others feel like private gardens.

We’ve pulled together five of the suburb’s most peaceful and private streets, ranked by layout, traffic flow, and resident turnover.

#1. Manor Grove

Type: Cul-de-sac Google Maps: View Manor Grove 

• Just seven freestanding homes

• No through traffic

• Backs onto Labassa Mansion, acting as a buffer from nearby roads

• Almost invisible from main streets — even locals don’t realise it’s there

This is Caulfield North’s gold standard for quiet. If you walked down Manor Grove during peak hour, you might not see a single car.

#2. Octavius Avenue

Type: Cul-de-sac Google Maps: View Octavius Avenue

• Cul-de-sac off Inkerman Road

• Surrounded by detached homes and long-term residents

• Extremely low sales activity

• Zero passing traffic

Octavius is quiet by design — and tightly held by nature. A classic Caulfield North enclave.

#3. Avoca Grove

Type: Grove (quiet no-through street) Google Maps: View Avoca Grove

• Narrow, tree-lined, and flat

• Very little car or foot traffic

• Set far enough back from Kooyong and Inkerman Roads to avoid ambient noise

• Strong neighbourhood presence

Avoca Grove has long flown under the radar. It's ideal for those who want walkability without the traffic.

#4. Malonga Court

Type: Court Google Maps: View Malonga Court

• Small pocket off Ferrars Grove

• Mix of older homes and rebuilds

• No through traffic

• Surprisingly quiet given proximity to Inkerman Road

Malonga Court’s privacy surprises first-time visitors. It’s a perfect case of layout shaping experience.

#5. Nyora Grove

Type: Grove Google Maps: View Nyora Grove

• Set well off Glen Eira Road

• Surrounded by mature trees

• Small enough that most homes know their neighbours

• A truly gentle street rhythm

Nyora is about feel — not fame. Quiet, lived-in, and rarely changing hands.

What Defines a Quiet Street?

We looked at:

• Traffic volume (residents only vs pass-through)

• Presence of cul-de-sac design or setbacks

• Ambient noise (distance from tram lines and commercial activity)

• Hold periods and sale frequency

And we asked: would you hear birds in the morning? Could kids ride their bikes safely? Would you stop mid-street and not worry about a car turning the corner?

In these five streets, the answer is yes.
