I have been lived in Karingal for 11 years. Moved to Langwarrin due to opportunity. There are very little suburbs in Australia where within 2 mins you get 6 ovals, I mean seriously, the walkability (is this a word, haha?) behind McClelland College is massive. In parks. So much green space. One of the best part of this area is Ballan Park, especially if you have children. We spent endless afternoons and weekends just walking walking kids and our dog and playing with them in nature, an absolutely lovely 15-20 minutes walk to the park from our place. The friendliness of people, usually people with kids or dog owners is amazing. I see this suburb skyrocketing at some point, there's been a few knock-down and rebuilt. It is a suburb where a lot of really nice people live: teachers, nurses, principals. Not much high class, but there are some isolated families. I never heard of crimes, shooting, burn outs, stealing or drugs, but I did see drug dealing at Frankston station. From where we lived we had Karingal Hub 20 mins walking distance and Coles convenience store about 25 mins walking, both 4 mins drive, car engine doesn't even get warmed up before you arrive. Frankston City has everything you need, you literally don't have to go to the city for anything, and perhaps the best part is the beach. Bayside Shopping Centre, 9 mins drive from our place, that has everything you could ever ask. Frankston City improved so much! Peninsula Link Fwy and Eastlink (3 mins from our place) and Frankston Power Centre it's all just added bonus. If you are a buyer you should hurry up buying now whilst the price is still affordable, the buyers activity is increasing. If you are a seller I would probably say wait 2 - 4 years to maximise your profit.

Nice, very peaceful, excellent neighbourhood, cute, plenty of parrots, 2 minutes to the shopping centre, 5 minutes to the station, shool, cinema around, bunnings and a massive mall (with harvey norman, dick smith etc) very close, beach is 10 minutes away.
