This place has everything we need & want close at hand. We're far enough from the city not to be caught up in its downsides, but close enough if we want to go there (which is only occasionally). But we are close to the beach, the bush, the peninsula, not far from the surf beaches, and nowhere near the flight approach to any airport. Others have commented on Franny's bad rep, but seriously, most of that was from Sam Newman having it in for Dermott Brereton. (I'd rather have people who pay attention to Sam stay away for here!) We struck gold sending all of our children to McClelland College, where they got an excellent education. The worst thing about the place is the council's lack of attention to the care and orderliness of residential streets (e.g. letting people dump their junk on nature strips). All told, that's a pretty good "worst"! The darkest cloud on Franny's horizon is the big developers wanting to make it look like Surfers Paradise by erecting buildings oversized for the area to be able to handle.
