But with the likes of Glen Waverley and Chadstone as neighbours, locals are spoilt when it comes to boutiques and big-brand names in fashion and homewares. Being such a large suburb, Mount Waverley has plenty of room to spread out. There are oversized blocks with homes to match to plentiful parks and recreation options, be it bushwalking at Damper Creek or kicking the ball around at Pinewood Reserve.
Mount Waverley also boasts an array of schools (seven primary schools to be exact), a well-connected train and bus network, and Monash University and Deakin University in neighbouring suburbs.
It’s easy to see why Mount Waverley ranks highly when it comes to family-friendly living.
