One landmark of note is the Caulfield General Medical Centre, which began life as one of the local mansions, the Glen Eira.

11 Army General Hospital where it served as a rehabilitation centre for returned servicemen from the Great War who sustained permanent or severe injuries.

Opened in 1855 it became, together with St Kilda Cemetery, an alternative resting place for those who had lived south of the Yarra River.

The area was a council landfill up until the middle of the twentieth century, when it was transformed into public park lands.

The architecture of Caulfield South is predominately period-style detached 2 and 3 bedroom family homes with both front and rear gardens.
