Wantirna South Property Market
& Suburb Profile

The suburb's proximity to amenities is a major selling point. Life here is centered around ease of access, from local shops to the massive Westfield Knox Shopping Centre. Families are well-catered for, with excellent educational options including several primary schools, The Knox School, Waverley Christian College, and St Andrews Christian College. Residents also benefit from numerous open parklands, sporting clubs, and the recently upgraded Knox Regional Sports Centre, offering amazing outdoor facilities for all ages. Employment is varied, with many residents commuting to the CBD, while local traders and hospitality staff work within the suburb's thriving commercial areas, particularly around High Street Road and Westfield Knox.

The most sought-after properties in Wantirna South are the generous four to five-bedroom family homes, typically set on approximately 800sqm of land. These prestigious homes are often found in quiet cul-de-sacs within the highly desirable Knox College Estate, which is prized for its picturesque neighbourhood and ideal proximity to The Knox School and Waverley Christian College. If you are fortunate enough to secure a property in this area, you will be surrounded by a community that many residents never want to leave. More broadly, the most common property styles are four to five-bedroom brick veneer homes originally built between 1980 and 1990. However, the suburb’s housing landscape is diversifying with numerous new homes constructed over the past five years, including the substantial Harcrest Estate by Mirvac on Stud Road, which offers a huge range of contemporary designs and sizes to choose from.

Key local improvements have significantly enhanced the lifestyle here. Westfield Knox Shopping Centre has undergone significant upgrades over the past five years, now providing many attractions including restaurants, cinemas, and over 200 designer shops. The City of Knox has maintained a vision to improve local infrastructure, evidenced by the amazing new facilities at the Knox Regional Sports Centre. Additionally, the opening of St Andrews Christian College in 2010 has established a well-regarded educational option in the community. Transport access is another great feature; while Burwood Highway, Stud Road, and High Street Road are the main arteries, travel was made significantly shorter for those commuting to the CBD or heading to the beach with the opening of Eastlink in June 2007. Public transport is well-serviced by numerous bus routes along the main roads, and the central bus hub at Westfield Knox offers direct links to Mitcham and Glen Waverley train stations.

For those looking for the best locations, Freemantle Drive is arguably the most highly regarded street, with quiet, leafy courts branching off it, featuring large, prestigious properties. The Knox College Estate remains the overall most sought-after area due to its exceptional neighbourhood feel and school proximity. However, other hidden gems like Renou Road, Wakley Crescent, and the Cathies Lane precinct are also highly valued by locals, reinforcing Wantirna South's reputation as a safe, peaceful, and clean place with wonderful schools and abundant parks.
