hello, just thought i,de put my two bobs worth in, we are just up the road from frankston in mt eliza, my work is based in frankston but i work all over the peninsula from st kilda up to dromana and rosebud and across to hastings and koowee roop , i visit most of these places every week and go to all types of neighbourhoods, personaly i think frankston gets a bad press , yes there are some rougher areas like north frankston, the pines or parts of dandenong but you get these areas almost every where in the world, from what i,ve seen in the past three years we have been here the crime is nothing like as bad as the uk, sure some bad things happen to unfortunate people but no where is crime free, i have no worries about shopping or allowing my family to visit frankston centre, the police have a very high clean up rate for most crimes, as i understand it 10% of the people commit 90% of the crimes as i said before i often work in so called rough areas but have never had any problems or felt that myself or vehicle were threatend, one thing i have noticed though is that when a crime or such happens in a more affluent area it is quickly forgoton and not talked about, people like to think of their areas as better than others and its easy to point the finger , much of frankston and surrounds has much to offer, great shopping, good cinema and restraunts , the beach and pier are great in summer and have much to offer in the way of a day out, frankston is also the end of the railway line up this side of the coast and so many people opt to drive to frankston , leave their cars nearby and commute into the city, my best advice would be to come for a look , if you like it then look around the surrounding suberbs for one that fits your needs , but always remember that even if you pay through the nose to live in a so called good area you may still end up with difficult neighbours , do your research on the ground and take your best bet, sorry if i,ve gone on for a bit and i don,t want to offend anyone i just think frankston is a regular working town which gets a bad press from some people who like to live in their ivory towers and look down at it, good luck with every thing and if anybody needs any general info on things , i,de be pleased to help, acer.
