Cleaners for all four corners of Reservoir
A very big suburb
Reservoir had 51,096 people at the 2021 Census, and the ABS splits it into four census areas. It sits 12 kilometres north of the city, in the City of Darebin.
Postwar houses
Homes went up quickly in the early postwar years, and the Housing Commission built large estates in the east. Today it's mostly brick or weatherboard houses, plus newer developments.
Shared driveways
Townhouses, terraces and semi-detached homes made up 35% to 40% of occupied homes in three of the four census areas. If your place shares a driveway, tell the business where it can stop without blocking a neighbour.
Your nearest station
The Mernda line stops at Reservoir, Regent, Keon Park and Ruthven. Naming your nearest one in the note tells the business which end you're at.
Reservoir's north west and south east, side by side
| North West | South East | |
|---|---|---|
| Homes rented | 20% | 41% |
| Separate houses | 87% | 62% |
| Townhouses, terraces and semis | 12% | 35% |
| Homes with no vehicle | 8% | 14% |
| Rentals that are separate houses | 70% | 47% |
Which cleaning services suit your end of Reservoir
Those are 2021 Census figures for each census area. The north west leans to owner-occupied houses, where a regular clean or a one-off deep clean tends to fit.
The south has far more rentals, and in the south west, 57% of rented homes were townhouses, terraces or semis. So an end of lease clean there is as likely to be up a flight of stairs as anything.
It's your call either way. Victorian law sets reasonably clean as the standard, and a rental provider can only require a professional clean in two cases, explained on the Victorian bond rules page.
We'd start with the floor plan when briefing Reservoir cleaners
Start with your floor plan, not your suburb. Tell the business if it's a townhouse with stairs, a unit on a shared driveway or a house with a sleepout. Stairs and a shared entry can change the day as much as the bedroom count.
