The Malvern Town Hall, built in 1886, is used as the offices for the City of Stonnington Council.

Glenferrie Road is a popular shopping destination with a fantastic mixture of restaurants and cafes. Malvern Central Shopping Centre is another convenient spot for the usual amenities shopping. Caffe La Via is a local favourite, while the Malvern Hotel is a fresh take on the traditional pub. It has a gourmet menu and a fantastic selection of fine wines, and its open fireplaces are popular in the winter. Caulfield Grammar School, St Joseph's Primary and Malvern Central School are all popular and respected primary schools in the area.

Public transport is readily accessible. Tooronga Station is located on the Glen Waverley line and Malvern Station is on the Frankston, Pakenham and Cranbourne lines.

malvern 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.
