History of Elsternwick, VIC
The Elsternwick village was proposed in 1851. Elsternwick was originally situated across three municipalities – Caulfield, Brighton and St Kilda. At the end of the 1880s unsuccessful attempts were made for Elsternwick to become administratively independent.
In 1861 a railway line, operated by the Melbourne and Hobson’s Bay United Railway Company, was built from Melbourne to Brighton via Elsternwick. The Elsternwick train station is on the Sandringham metropolitan train line Glen Huntly Road.
In the 1880s, the Elsternwick railway station was also the Melbourne end of the railway line to the large-scale sugar beet processing mill at Rosstown (see Rosstown Railway) — now known as Carnegie — and beyond. This railway was seldom used, and it ceased to function in 1916.

Elsternwick Village is one of the best place in Melbourne for shopping and restaurant going. The op stores are favorite part for every one . The suburb is close the beach as well.
“Safe and easily accessible” reviewed by Shannon Barker
I have lived in Elsternwick for nearly 3 years. In that time, I have watched as Glen Huntly Rd becomes more lively with bars and restaurants like Bang Bang and Hanoi Hannah. Its centrally located to trams and the Sandringham line train and close to Elsternwick Park and Caulfield Park. I love the area and would highly recommend!

Elsternwick is a really great place to live! the shops, city and beach are close by. its is rated one of the most walkable places in the world by walkscore.com beaten by only 2% worldwide. great for teens with schools, sports clubs and public transport, and great for older people with easy access to shopping, healthcare including a local medicare office and loads of chemists and transport. when you walk down glen huntly road and you get to know people in the shops, everyone says hi or waves and is friendly and helpful.
