West or east Glen Waverley? It changes house cleaning
The west side rents more
In the 2021 Census, 32% of occupied homes in the Glen Waverley West census area were rented, and 19% were flats and apartments.
The east side is houses
In Glen Waverley East, 22% of homes were rented and 89% were separate houses. Monash history says the steeper ground east of Springvale Road was zoned for housing after about 1966, so mention a sloping block.
Townhouses on old blocks
Glen Waverley's houses went up on large blocks, typically 800 m2, and many are being split into townhouses. A townhouse can mean stairs on every trip and a shared driveway, so put both in the note.
Around Kingsway
The train line ends just off Kingsway, the main street, and buildings such as the 10-storey IKON sit nearby. Suburban Rail Loop works have closed parts of Coleman Parade and Montclair Avenue for the length of construction, and the Montclair Avenue car park is shut.
End of lease cleaning in Glen Waverley and clause 11
A townhouse on a split block suits a fortnightly regular clean with the stairs on the list. A Kingsway apartment needs access sorted first, with the apartment cleaning basics: lift, fob and where to park.
Moving out? Look at clause 11 of a standard Victorian rental agreement. It says the rental provider must not require professional cleaning at the end, apart from two cases. Book an end of lease clean if you want the time back, not because the law says you must.
A Glen Waverley townhouse checklist for cleaners
- Where the gear can stay, so it isn't carried up and down all day.
- Whether the stairs are carpeted, tiled or timber.
- Your visitor bay number, or where on the street a van can stop.
- Shared bins and letterboxes that belong to the neighbours.
Our tip: plan Glen Waverley cleaners around the building
Plan the clean around the building, not the other way round. Near Kingsway, check the closures and your building's parking rules first, then pick the cleaning date. On a split block, agree with your neighbour when the shared drive will be clear.
