"A very liveable suburb"
*Per comments made by Alexandra & Janeliveshere* Frankston as a whole is a HUGE suburb and cannot be generalized based on any one small troublesome area! Certainly there are rough areas ie. Frankston North where the homes are a litte cheaper because of the Hoons, etc. generally you should research appropriately a good street before choosing a home. But for the most part there are some really pretty areas - I personally have not experienced trouble since living here. I have no freeway noise, lovely neighbours, access to great shopping centres, parks, restaurants & the peninsula. It only takes me 45 mins to drive home from the city. In my view it is a very liveable suburb. The only way to know is to see it and decide for yourself!

"Out with the old & in with the new young professionals!"
I have recently purchased a home in Karingal. I spent 6 months looking all over Frankston & my partner and I really liked the street we looked at (previously lived beachside in East Brighton but that is out of our price range to buy for a house). It has lovely trees & has a lovely feel to the street. Close to the Peninsula Link & location cuts 10-15 minutes of our drive home from the city compared to Frankston South. Have lived here now for 3 months and LOVE it! So much to do and very liveable. How found everyone to be very friendly and that old stigma Frankston used to have when you mentioned the word is slowly turning around! People in the know usually have a higher opinion. I would highly recommend it!
