Frankston North, VIC 3200

Everyone bags Frankston and Frankston North, but not only is it affordable, we got a place for 600k in 2025, it’s a 3 bedroom family home with 550m of land. We’re right opposite a park, an ELC, near the shops, by a lovely golf course, and the beach is a 7 minute drive away! We’re also so close to Mornington peninsula! Only suburb with houses under 650k in the area 🙂 - and the more good people and families who move here the merrier, so come!! Frankston north gets a bad wrap but it’s clearly gentrifying rapidly and it has a nice family friendly feel on most streets. Sure there’s the occasional bad street, but most suburbs have them!

At this price range, there might be no other place where you can buy a house within walking distance to the beach. It's a neighbourhood with a quiet and peaceful vibe. It's an excellent place for young couples or families with young children. I hope more considerate and well-mannered new neighbours move in like the ones we have now!

I bought a property in Frankston North a year ago as an investment. Me and my family live in Narre Warren which is a close to mountains. We also love somewhere close to the beach. This lovely little suburb caught our eyes, as it is close to free ways, Kananook station (5min), Seaford beach (7 min), Fauna reserve in walking distance, Golf club, Schools. So what else for this kind of a price?. And the bonus is, the land sizes are generally more than 500 Sqm.

My partner and I are a young couple who were looking to spread out to a place with a backyard, after spending 2020 in lockdown in our small apartment in the Melbourne inner city suburbs. With the state of the housing market atm and as first home buyers, Frankston North was one of the few places we could actually afford. And we’re so glad we could - Frankston North’s old bad rep is definitely outdated! Our neighbours are wonderful, we’re a five min walk from the Pines Flora and Fauna reserve, a five min drive to Seaford beach and a 7 min drive to the shops, bars, restaurants and breweries in Frankston - not to mention the wineries and incredible beaches and parks throughout the Mornington Peninsula! The neighbourhood is really booming, with lots of work going into brightening up houses around the area and a lot of government funding going into the schools and community spaces. Would definitely recommend Frankston North to anyone looking to branch out and create their first home, in a beachside suburb that is really on the up!

I recently purchased in Frankston North, as it was an affordable entry point into the market. I was hesitant because it does have a bad reputation, but I have been very happy so far. Very quiet, friendly people, easy freeway access and close to beach. The only con is that the houses in the area need some TLC but with time I’m sure that will change. I’d definitely recommend to anyone else to move into the area too.
Very happy with my decision to purchase here.

Buying in Frankston North was one of the best decisions I have made.

I got an old house but they are very solidly built (BV, hardwood frame, concrete stumps etc) by the government on a 600sqm block for less than a one bedroom apartment in a lot of suburbs.

Now I have renovated, it is a beautiful home with heaps of space to expand in the future.

The neighbours are all great, friendly and keep their houses neat. The community spaces are fantastic. Plenty of places to walk my dog and all 3 schools are currently getting major works.

- two primary schools
- one secondary college
- bulk billing doctor
- aged care
- swimming pool
- huge parks and reserves
- grocery shops
- petrol station with mechanics
- hair salons
- successful local AFL/Netball/soccer clubs
- ample take aways

This suburb has so much!

And yes, you do get the occasional roughie, but you expect that everywhere and I have never felt unsafe.

Can't wait to see what the next few years bring.

Nice , big houses on blocks , still bargain for grab , prices to go up , 5 min from Frankston ,Carrum beach .

Frankston North is a great little suburb that is close to many things and still reasonably priced. Just needs a decent coffee shop!

Where else in Melbourne could you get a suburb that is still so affordable yet walking distance to everything? Local strip shops, train stations and public transport, excellent schools and parks and only 10-15 minutes from the beach!

Moved to Frankston North in 2013. Property prices were relatively cheaper than neighboring suburbs at the time, however they care catching up slowly now. But still a great bargain suburb to invest.

Most houses are on huge blocks of land and old but there are a few renovated / newly built ones too.

Very multicultural. The Community center is one of the best for kids, specially pre-schoolers to spend some time daily.

Pros : Close to public transport, medical centers, train station, shops, public hospital, shopping center, fast food, child care centers, easy road access to CBD (just one set of traffic lights and about 35-40 minutes to the CBD via M3 and M1 toll roads or about 50-60 minutes via M11 and Nepean Highway).
Cons : On very rare occasions you may see an idiot or hoon driver at night (but I have experienced idiots in every suburb I have lived), not in the zone for any of the Frankston schools
