My Partner and I bought our first home here in Frankston 12 months ago. Frankston is such a beautiful place to live.

Beautiful parks and sporting fields.
People here have been great.

Braidwood is a beautiful place to live.

* New over 55s estate (beautiful part of town)

IGA
* two primary schools (government and private), one high school.
