Frankston, VIC 3199

My partner and I recently made the decision to move in together after living separately for 5 years. He was living in Frankston and I in Mornington and my only condition regarding this transition was to remain close to my work and family in Mornington's Main Street. I didn't mind what era the house was and whether we only had one bedroom and bathroom, I felt like I could never leave my home town and especially sacrifice my self respect by moving to the 'more affordable' Frankston area... What an attitude adjustment I've had! Upon closer inspection, particularly in the rental market, all you're paying for is position in Mornington and we were looking at very close quarters anywhere even near Main Street, let alone beachside! I was disappointed that to rent in my beloved town was going to cost more than my wage, and between us we would be living on rations with no gym membership or dinners out on the town, etc. Then along came Frankston, the suburb that gave us hope! We inspected so many beautiful properties once I'd had my reality checked and knew what the lifestyle could offer, but at such competitive prices?! We were shocked, and the choice was then made for us - I am ashamed that I disregarded Frankston right off the bat and now enjoy a comfortable routine only 15 minutes from work in a lovely, quiet street with no qualms... We know it's only going to improve from here and they're doing so many great things in and around where we call home now. We are now proud to call ourselves converts and would love nothing more but to renew out lease in 12 months and continue enjoying this amazing town!

After many years of renting in Toorak after relocating from interstate, I came across Frankston North. After a bit of googling on forums such as this i was almost deterred from the stereotypical attitudes and blatent labeling of the residents in the immediate and greater area. I was pleasantly surprised when i attended the open home on how friendly the neighbors and local residents were, the area encompasses a mixed bag of elderly long term residents who have raised their families and stayed on in their family homes, Tenants and owner occupy.

After spending some time in the area on various days and nights, weekends and weeknights, we mad the jump and purchased in the area, at this time housing in the area was at a low demand and the price was a result of this also which was rather attractive from our prospective.

I have heard many stories and most are awful about antisocial behavior, hoons, murders, drugs and anything else anyone who wishes to slander an area could say and frankly most of it is based on urban legend or past visits. the frankston i have had the pleasure to meet is an up beat coastal town on the verge of an economic boom, friendly locals and great facilities such as shopping strips, shopping centres, transport, pools and parks and of course the beautiful beach that is now on the map as one of the finest in Melbourne.

In conclusion for those looking to grow capital, wanting a beachside property under $1m or those wanting to start out, I cannot recommend Frankston enough. The shear diversity of people from varied ethnic backgrounds, price options for real estate from $200 - $3m (on a 3km line of sight) and the opportunity for significant positive growth encompassing the fact that its the last bayside suburb in melbourne to have the opportunity to purchase in for the forseeable future and somewhere where the opportunities are set to achieve great heights.

At the end of the day this is but 1 opinion, I am an estate agent here and also a homeowner (in fairness my opinion is based on my professional knowledge and from my own conceptions of the area as a resident) - read and visit yourself and make an educated decision.

A great place to call home

Love living in frankston, great cafes and lifestyle

I wasn’t sure about Frankston at first, but honestly, it’s growing on me. The beach is solid for relaxing after work, and there’s a good mix of pubs and cafes to hang out at. It’s more affordable than most Melbourne suburbs, so you get decent value for your money. If you’re a single guy looking for a chill spot that’s not too far from the action, Frankston’s worth checking out.

I moved to Frankston a couple months ago and absolutely love it here! The beaches are stunning, shops and cafes are convenient, and the transport links make life easy. It's a vibrant area with more young families moving in, creating a welcoming and lively vibe. Evening beach walks and weekend park visits have become my favorite routines. I’m so glad I made Frankston my home.

I just moved here and all I can say is that Frankston is an amazing place to live, especially if you love the beach. The coastline is perfect for walks, swimming, or just soaking up the sun. Beyond that, the community feels welcoming, and there are plenty of cafes, parks, and spots to relax. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a laid-back lifestyle while still having everything you need close by.

Recently moved to Frankston Heights and couldn't be happier. Big 4 bedder houses are still affordable, the schools are all great, amenities are great, and commute to the city is easy. On top of all that it has one of the best beaches in thr state, beautiful scenery and nature walks, and a real community feel. It really ticks all the boxes especially if you are looking for somewhere to raise a family. My kids love it here.

I love Frankston. I have only lived here for over a year and I must say its been amazing. I have family and friends who come regularly from France, Rome, china and Malaysia and they love the fact that everything is at their footstep. We dont have to travel to far to enjoy the beach, restaurants, shopping. movies, markets etc etc. We have easy access to the freeways that take us to places like Mornington and Sorrento. My Daughter attends Monash University in Frankston. We looked at purchasing in Clyde North and it had nothing to offer other that house surrounded by more houses and living in isolation. No life, shops NOTHING. I agree with the others that say that FRANKSTON is the place that will be the first to BOOM due to the fact that when people open their eyes and see what Frankston has to offer against these so called new suburbs they will understand what we mean. Just open your eyes and compare what the suburbs have to offer dont just get fooled by the new house look that will probably not last as long as these Frankston homes that are solid and can easily be upgraded if not already.

I love Frankston. It has everything your heart desires. It has the beach, restaurants, night life, Parks, Schools, Shopping Centres, public transport, freeways, Cinema etc etc. There is nothing missing in Frankston. Its affordable and you dont have to live in places like Clyde that have nothing to offer other than estates. Frankston will boom so if you are thinking of an affordable suburb that has everything you would be stupid not to buy here. I have lived here for over 20 years and love my Sunday morning strolls down the beach and a coffee and croissant nearby. Boom Boom Boom
