Tell Me About Living in or Around Frankston, VIC?

[Junglemum]

I rekon you'd like Mt Eliza, even Mornington. You wouldn't like Langwarrin or Pakenham and i think you wouldn't mind some part of Frankston South.

When you coming to visit? Wed next week?

[Junglemum]

Growing up in Frankston i never had any trouble but there are definately areas and to be wary of (like you would find no matter where you lived). In my younger years I went out to the nightclubs each weekend and never had any trouble, i actually felt safer in Frankston than i would going into the city.

Me too. I grew up in the back alleys of Frankston, and i'm awright......... aint i?

ETA- And i want you to move down here so when i'm back visiting it's easier to visit!

[*EJ*]

Mt Eliza & Frankston South are beutiful and hopefully you can find something in your price range, if not Langwarrin is great also

[Ginger]

i'm coming to visit you on wednesday falguni.....you can show me the ropes.
i'm loving mt eliza

[Junglemum]

Nice, bring dbl MB. I have an app in MtEliza with a paed chiro at 9am so can meet you there.

[Ginger]

sweet, this is awesome. is there a playground near-by?

[Junglemum]

Playgrounds everywhere. We could even wander the main st of Mornington if you like. They have a market every Wednesday. Oh and the icing on the cake? CR just opened in Frankston. What more do you need???

[Ginger]

i'm there.

[Janie]

you two are so funny.

I reckon you'll love it down there G. And if there's a CR, what else do you need???

[Junglemum]

You coming too Sez?

[Olive]

you two are so funny.

I reckon you'll love it down there G. And if there's a CR, what else do you need???

sounds like your all set G!!

[Junglemum]

Not too far for you either J. Come on down!

[Janie]

I would love to, the weather is going to be perfect this week!!!! But alas, I have my 20 week scan and Ob appt on Wednesday, so I'll have to leave you girls to destroy CR and your credit cards on your own . Another day though? How good is Eastlink, it takes no time for us to get to Franga now!

[~Raven~]

However, I'd choose the southern end over Frankston North (The Pines/Kananook Creek area is where the Frankston stereotype comes from). It's not like you're going to be hanging about the train station at night though...

It's got great public transport, beach, shops, etc...

Agree with that! DH grew up in Frankston so I can always ask his opinion of certan areas for you. I did hear once though that The Pines will may be a newish boom area as new land becomes more expensive and it becomes more cost effective to knock down the old commision homes. That could just be rumour though

You could look at Mt Eliza or Langwarrin, or further south to Mt Martha or Mornington but it gets a bit exxy down that way.

[Ginger]

we're doing it.
putting our house on the market in 18months time.
so....whose gonna be my friends when i live down in Mt Eliza? i need some play-date buddies.

[Janie]

Well, I'm sad that you're moving further away......but I'll still come play with you, especially when guni is in town! Sounds like a great plan hun, you must be excited

[Ginger]

not far from you janie with east-link, we'll have to organise playdates with the guni too

[Janie]

I know, Eastlink rocks! (Apart from the tolls ). Will definitely come to visit you, I love being near the water, I'm very jealous of your proposed sea change
