bomber929 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hi Waiting game, Yeah it's nice around Carrum/Bonbeach area. Carrum Downs is a little inland from the beach but still nice. We have large parks all around us and they are set up with families, good play areas and built in bbq's. The beach is just 500m away aswell. Jimmy.

It would be great to catch up with others in the area with common interest so if you want to catch up with us and maybe others in the area too we should organise something?

Donny bear Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hi Lindsey, we did loads of research too, but it's all worth it! It's a lot better than Stockport and Rochdale! We still can't believe we are here, it was hard saying goodbye to family but it's so with it! We tried selling our house, but couldn't get a good price , so we rent it out now. Keep me updated on your progress, you'll be here before you know it! We'll see ya on the beach lol! danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken63 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Waitinggame - Trains run every 15/18 mins from the city off peak and from Frankston back to the city...Peak times around 7 mins to and from the vity...Living in Seaford/Carrum you may get something cheaper than $350 a week if you look hard enough....Carrum Downs is inland further, aproximately 7/10 mins from Carrum itself and no train service - only buses, but a reasonable service I'm led to believe.. Jimmy - I lived in Seaford as a kid, was born in Frankston hospital lol.. We lived between Seaford Rd and Station St on Railway Pde....Get your kids involved in local sport..I played footy for Seaford when I was a kid and my dad played for them as well before me..Cricket also..I don't live in the area anymore but may contemplate a move down to the Peninsula again I think..

buzzy--bee Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Carrum Downs - you would get a 3 bed near-new house for about $340 per week, 4 bed for about $380 per week. Great affordable area in my opinion, cheaper than areas further in and further out, I predict big price rises both for purchase and rent in this area.
