mount waverley Suburb Profile & Review

Mount Waverley is a quiet, well established suburb in Melbourne's south-east. A fan of Sir Walter Scott named the township 'Waverley' in 1854 after the novel of the same name, and the 'Mount' was later added to distinguish the town from Glen Waverley. Today, an abundance of quiet bushland parks provide the suburb with its strong country atmosphere. Residents enjoy walking their dogs, playing with their kids and going for a run at Valley Reserve, Damper Creek Reserve and Federal Reserve, where there are wetlands and wide open spaces.

There are ten schools in Mount Waverley, including the esteemed Huntingtower School and Avila College. Mount Waverley Secondary College is a highly ranked public school with an enrollment exceeding 1800 students across two campuses.

Mount Waverley Village Shopping Centre and Pinewood Shopping Centre provide residents with a dynamic range of supermarkets, cafes and restaurants. Pinewood also houses Waverley Cinema, a small, beloved family-run cinema. Public transport is available in the form of two train stations on the Glen Waverley line: Mount Waverley and Jordanville stations. Trains take only half an hour to reach the city.

mount waverley Income & Mortgage Stats

To calculate the percentage of income paid towards a mortgage for the suburb of Melbourne, multiply the mortgage payment (e.g. $2450) by 12 then divide this figure by the weekly income (e.g. $1200) multiplied by 52 (weeks) to look like this ($2450 x12/$1200 x 52) x 100 = 47%

Any figure above 30% usually indicates that the suburb you intend to buy in may have property owners with a high incidence of mortgage stress. In terms of maintaining or growing property values in the future and trying to secure a strong property price when selling, this could have an impact, especially in an economic or local industry downturn.
