I'm sitting in my lounge room looking over a view of the bay that reaches from St Kilda to Queenscliff. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could afford a sea view like this. I sold my weatherboard house in the mid eastern suburbs 4 years ago, bought this and had money left over to help fund my retirement. I'd lived in my old place 20+ years.

We are in a quiet, friendly court on a hill in Frankston full of quality homes. Only 5 minutes from the freeway, we can usually get into Melbourne city quicker than when we lived in Melbourne and we have easy access to open countryside and the rest of the Mornington Peninsula. We are surrounded by golf courses and a huge nature reserve. We have access to all the shops we need. Fast NBN internet is a real bonus.

I love going for walks along the boardwalk and having coffee at the beachside cafes or going a bit further to Mt Eliza and Mornington.

I don't have one regret about moving here. Eventually we'll move into a smaller place and Frankston will still be my choice.

As for the train station, are there any major stations that are completely safe at night these days? The few times I've used Frankston Station at night I saw no problems.
