Cleaners around the Caulfield racecourse
Houses, units and flats
In the 2021 Census, the Caulfield North and Caulfield South census areas were 43% separate houses, 29% townhouses, terraces and semi-detached homes, and 29% flats and apartments. Of all occupied homes, 34% were rented.
Race days
The Caulfield Cup has run at the racecourse since 1879. If you live close to the track, check the race calendar before you choose a day, because a meeting brings more cars into the side streets.
No station in the suburb
No railway line serves Caulfield itself. Caulfield station is in Caulfield East, with Elsternwick and Glen Huntly the other options, and trams run along Hawthorn Road and Glen Huntly Road.
Single-use permits
Glen Eira offers eligible households 110 single-use permits a year for visitors or visiting tradespersons. If your street is restricted, have one ready for the day of the clean.
Older houses
Victorian Places says Caulfield South has kept much of its detached house stock, and notes A.V. Jennings' first housing estate, on Hillcrest Avenue, from 1933. Homes of that age may still have original tiles and timber, so mention them.
What to leave ready for Caulfield house cleaners
- The parking permit on the bench, or a note on how to use it.
- A second street to try if yours is full.
- The key, the code or the intercom number for your building.
- Any rooms, shelves or cabinets to leave alone.
- Your entry condition report, if you're moving out.
Living in, leaving or moving into a Caulfield home
A regular clean suits a home you live in. Leaving a rental, the end of lease clean in Melbourne is the one: Victoria asks for the place back reasonably clean, allowing for fair wear and tear, and a professional clean can only be required in two set cases. Moving into a place that has sat empty? A move-in clean goes before the furniture.
If this were our place: permits before Caulfield cleaners come
Sort the permit before the date. Check the sign on your street, set a permit aside if you need one, and steer clear of race days if you live near the track. Then the cleaner's time goes on your home rather than circling the block.
