Mount Waverley started as the "Napppy belt of the early 60's. Affordable housing for young families with adequate schools, health services, churches and parks. It has remained that over the years. The trees that all home owners were encouraged to build have grown and given the suburb its green and softned appearance. The houses were modest on mainly 1/4 acre blocks. When we bought in Mt Waverley in the early 90's we were attracted to the quiet, green leafy streets but also the good schools and amenities. The blandness of a 60's house offered scope to extend or renovate along with a good sized block. Mount Waverley wasn't and still isn't within most first home buyers scope.

Best things about Mt Waverley
Local shopping village with grocery options covered
Good public transport- train and buses
Good schools- however bulging at the seams!
Local parks and reserves

Worst things
A bit boring- but good eating options in Glen Waverley
Less greenery with clearing of blocks and montrous "Yukka Mc Units " appearing
Expensive to buy for the new families that this suburb suits the most.
