Glen Huntly Suburb Profile

Although small, living in Glen Huntly hits the mark when it comes to family-friendly living. It’s quiet, convenient, and well-connected with a whole lot of urban charm thrown in. Along Glen Huntly Road, a sprinkling of cafés and restaurants sit alongside storefronts that cater to everyday needs. The tram line runs the length of the road in the suburb, connecting locals with Melbourne CBD and other on-trend urban hubs – Caulfield, Elsternwick, and St Kilda, while Glenhuntly Railway Station sits on the Frankston train line. Year-round, Booran Reserve is a lively spot for families with its oversized structures and water play feature, and the cycle paths that link to neighbouring Caulfield and Monash University make popular travel routes for locals. For cyclists who like to amp it up a little, the velodrome in neighbouring Carnegie is open to the public. Although the homes themselves – townhouses and cottages to modern apartments – are enough to win people over, it’s the convenient location that makes living in Glen Huntly a real standout, especially during Spring Racing season when Caulfield Racecourse is in full swing.

Caufield

To the north of Glen Huntly is Caulfield, a sprawling suburb that’s the epicentre of Melbourne’s Jewish community. Glen Huntly Road is the place to grab a bagel, and Caulfield Racecourse is revered among the horse-racing circuit, with the Caulfield Cup shining a spotlight on the area during October.

Playgrounds Aplenty

Staying true to its family-friendly vibe, Glen Huntly has an impressive selection of parks and playgrounds. But none are quite like Booran Reserve, an all-round sensory playground with climbing structures, slides and a water play feature.
