Mount Eliza

"Best bayside suburb of Melbourne"

Mt Eliza is a unique community where the bush meets the sea. Some argue that Mt Eliza is a bayside suburb of Melbourne because it's only an hour from Melbourne Airport and 45 minutes to the city. Others insist it's a seaside village on the Mornington Peninsula. Whichever way you look at it, is an easy commute to the city or any other part of Melbourne. Mt Eliza has a wonderful seaside village atmosphere which hasn't changed since I was a kid and many of my old friends have never left the area. Although the value of real estate is high, the locals are very friendly and have a great community spirit.

The best streets in Mt Eliza are not necessarily those closest to the beach. The Mt Eliza Woodland, which is the leafy timbered area bordered by Nepean and Moorooduc Highways, and Canadian Bay and Humphries Roads, is a unique part of Victoria because it's covered in trees and indigenous shrubs and the blocks are 2/3 acre or more. The real estate in this tightly held pocket is highly prized.

Totally agree with all above but having lived in Mt Eliza for over 30 years at one satge I thought I would buy the other side of the highway because the blocks are bigger tennis courts pool etc but I am gal we stuck by the beach and public transport is fantastic in old age as well as when the children were young It allowed them to be more independant Consider the Ranelagh Estate Good value for money

Frankston

"Frankston is a great place to invest"

I bought my 3 bedroom house in Frankston 3 years ago for $230,000. We have done nothing to it in that time and it has just been valued so that we can sell it and buy a bigger home. The value now is $365,000. That is a huge percentage increase in 3 years. Frankston just gets better and better as time goes on. The shopping is great, the Eastlink freeway is fantastic, and Frankston's beautiful foreshore is world-class. My wife and I go to lots of the Frankston Arts Centre events and our little fella loves Frankston's parks and all the local activities for kids, many of which are free, such as the Teddy Bears Picnic in the George Pentland Botanical Gardens. A move to Frankston is a good move in anybody's book.
