CNC FABS Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Well yes fab beach, lots of shops, good school to the South. Just stuck with that rep ! I do feel this is the up and coming part of bayside and it will swing into an expensive area in time. How long will it take. Was at the GP in 2012 sitting with some great guys from Bendigo, very friendly to the lonely pom. They asked where I was heading next, I said Frankston. Got instant reaction !! Your going where !! God no !! Stayed at old Quest, all was great for my 3 day stay checking out the Peninsular, hell I'm moving to Mount Martha in 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambethlad Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 The negativity about Frankston has actually had a positive side - it has kept property values relatively low. Frankston is one of the few Melbourne suburbs where people can afford to buy into the same suburb as their parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsan Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 although the prices are creeping up. Thats why we've just bought in Langwarrin, close enough to drive to the beach and station in 10mins, but far enough out that prices arent getting silly.

starlight7 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Frankston varies though- it has its bogan side and it has its lovely side. Depends where you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambethlad Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Frankston varies though- it has its bogan side and it has its lovely side. Depends where you go. True. Frankston North is the natural habitat of the bogan but still attracts people on a tight budget as most houses are priced under $300,000 and it's hard to even buy a block of land these days for that price. I know a bloke who bought a house there as an investment to rent out and after having so much trouble with a couple of different tenants who wouldn't pay the rent, he sold it. I learnt that lesson myself as a landlord that low-cost houses = low-quality tenants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
