Hi Mandy, as a local agent and resident of Mentone for over 10 years I can only recommend Mentone and the surrounding area very highly. The Mentone shopping area has all major amenities as well as many cafes and shops, which are a great place to meet with the friendly people. Mentone is on the beach which is very clean and a great place to swim, play or walk your dog. Both the private and government schools in the area are very highly regarded. Transport links are very strong with a very accessible train service as well as good roads. Hope to see you in Mentone soon. Regards - Greg Arthurton, Ray White Mordialloc
