Education
Glen Huntly has two primary schools within the suburb: Glen Huntly Primary School (state) and St Anthony's Catholic Primary School. For secondary schooling, Glen Huntly sits within the City of Glen Eira and is served by nearby Glen Eira College in Caulfield East — always confirm the applicable zone via the Victorian Department of Education's Find My School tool for a specific address. Tertiary: Monash University's Caulfield campus is a short tram or train ride away. Always verify availability and waitlists directly with providers.
Amenities & Lifestyle
The Glen Huntly Road shopping strip is the suburb's commercial and social heart, with around 150 stores including a Woolworths supermarket, cafes and a mix of independent retailers reflecting the area's multicultural population. The rebuilt Glen Huntly Station forecourt has added new public seating and landscaping, along with a pocket park on Neerim Road, and residents also have access to nearby parkland across the municipal boundary around the Caulfield Racecourse Reserve.
Employment
Major Employment Hubs: Glen Huntly sits within reach of the Monash University Caulfield campus and the broader Caulfield health, education and retail precinct, as well as Chadstone Shopping Centre, one of the Southern Hemisphere's largest shopping centres, a short drive away in neighbouring Chadstone/Malvern East. Commercial Centres: the Glen Huntly Road strip is the suburb's own primary retail and hospitality centre.
Infrastructure
The Victorian Government's Level Crossing Removal Project removed the level crossings at Neerim Road and Glen Huntly Road by lowering the Frankston line into a trench, opening the rebuilt Glen Huntly Station in July 2023 with a new tram interchange, forecourt landscaping and a new pocket park on Neerim Road — part of a broader $4 billion program to remove level crossings and rebuild stations along the Frankston line. No further major projects beyond those noted above are currently confirmed for Glen Huntly. Check Infrastructure Australia's project pipeline, State Government announcements or the City of Glen Eira's website for the latest updates.
Growth Drivers
- Rebuilt Glen Huntly Station precinct — The 2023 level crossing removal delivered a new station, tram interchange and public open space, lifting the suburb's transport amenity and streetscape.
- Established retail strip — The Glen Huntly Road shopping strip, anchored by a Woolworths supermarket and around 150 traders, gives the suburb strong everyday liveability.
- Proximity to Monash Caulfield and Chadstone — Glen Huntly's position close to a major university campus and one of Australia's largest shopping centres supports demand from students, staff and shoppers alike.
- Relative affordability within Glen Eira — Glen Huntly's unit market in particular offers a comparatively accessible entry point into the City of Glen Eira, with a much deeper unit sales sample than the house market.
Key Risks
- High renter concentration — With close to half of all occupied dwellings rented rather than owner-occupied, Glen Huntly's market is more exposed to shifts in the rental cycle than owner-occupier-dominated suburbs.
- Small house sales sample — Glen Huntly's house sales volume is modest relative to its much larger unit market, so median house price figures should be treated with more caution.
- Interest rate and lending sensitivity — Like all property markets, Glen Huntly's values and buyer activity are sensitive to changes in interest rates and lending conditions.
