"Best kept suburb in SE Melbourne"
Mount Waverley is a great suburb with some minor issues that large number of suburbs in the country has to deal with. Yet it is a wonderful one getting ready for its next phase of life.
The suburb is quite,leafy and have great amenities. all big and must things are not too close but not far either.
Chadstone shopping, Monash hospital, M1,Aquatic centre,Restaurants precinct etc....
Everything in 10 minutes drive...Great schools...MWSC,MWPS,Wesley...to name a few....
Transmission line is an evil that modern society needs to deal with. I guess more dangerous is standing next to a microwave oven waiting for your pasta to be heated up for 30 sec..that is more dangerous than living next to a power line for many years..I am not saying HV transmission lines are great.They all pose risk...
They run along lots of suburb, even private schools wealthy parents send their children to. e,g Caulfield Grammer in Wheelers hill...
It is a nice little suburb tucked away nicely..It still has a bit country beauty...
Great for
- 18km is not far
- Closer to the city
Not great for
- Electricty Mains Towers
- Old dated properties
Who lives here?
- Families with kids
Hi jimmy, I have received just mixed review about Frankston. This area really appeals to us, as I have heard the schools are good. We live in the Uk, but are hoping to emigrate in the next 2 years. A long way off I know, but it's good to get an idea of the best suburbs to live in. Any advice would be invaluable. Many thanks
Hi CheS, Try to avoid frankston North, it's a dump area. Go somewhere further south to mount Eliza.
Hi I am from Glen Waverley and moved here 5 years ago from Box Hill. I am from an English background. Moving to Frankston or Doveton over Glen Waverley mmmm not sure where the reviewer found their facts about these suburbs.
Glen Waverley has a high Asian population- made up of Indian, Hong Kong , Japan and mainland China. As well as a smaller minority of Aussies. We live in a wonderful street where all the other home owners are of an Asian background.
I love this about Glen Waverley. The neighbours are polite and very friendly and have a great education/work ethic.
The schools are very well resourced and high achieving . Such as Wesley College which is private and Glen Waverley Secondary College which is State,as well as many catholic and state Primary Schools.
The suburb has many good shops, Centro the Glen shopping complex, many restaurants.
Also very family friendly. Great train line and easy access to the main roads and freeways.
You will feel very safe living here.
Brighton , parkdale, Mentone is a better option for the same price. Closer to the beach, better golf courses and life style. Hard to get car park for the train station in glen waverly or mount waverley and is far away from the city.
To pay. $1.2 million for a house 23 minute with no traffic to the city is a joke.
Bayside suburds is much better. Better value for money..
Hope that helps.
Mount Waverley is a blue chip suburb, has some of the best amenities that Melbourne can offer such as Chadstone SC, public & private schools within 5-10km that are highly ranked, Monash hospital and easy access to freeways and major arterial roads. Correct me if im wrong but for 2015/16 it was the highest growth suburb (%) in Melbourne. Great suburb would never leave.
The area is ok but I would seriously look at doveton or Frankston for oversea buyers.
The area is overrated and education is not as good as the schools in Frankston
For overseas buyers, give it a miss and look at Ballarat, Bendigo or Doveton.
Hope that helps.
