About Mount Waverley
Mount Waverley sits as one of Melbourne's most desirable middle-eastern suburbs, an established community of 35,000 in Monash, located 16 kilometres from the CBD. The Glen Waverley line station provides direct city access, while the suburb's elevated position offers leafy streets and some city views. Mount Waverley Secondary College and Mount Waverley Primary School draw families prioritising education.
The suburb offers a quieter alternative to adjacent Glen Waverley—still Asian-Australian in character with excellent dining options, but more residential in feel. The Village shopping strip provides local character, while nearby Valley Reserve and Damper Creek Trail offer bushland experiences. Mount Waverley attracts established families, often upgrading from first homes, who want quality schools, leafy streets, and genuine neighbourhood character without the intensity of Glen Waverley's retail precinct.
Mount Waverley falls under postcode 3149 and is governed by Monash Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Ashwood (Southern Metropolitan) electorate.
