    Advice for a first home buyer in Melbourne??

    I think you need to do more research. My research shows 11% growth in Chelsea. There are a lot of units being built there now so potentially an oversupply could be affecting the price. From my knowledge though Mordialloc to Frankston has been selling like crazy lately. For the price you pay...

    "Parts of Melbourne in a bubble"

    Hang on, what about Jells Park and Shepherd Bush? Two of Melbourne's biggest and most visited parks. Glen Waverley is definitely leafy. I personally think it is over priced but let's not make up reasons like saying it's not leafy.

    Is it time for Frankston?

    How is everyone bracing for the SE Water staff arrival? Going to be the biggest change to Frankston perhaps ever. In past three years Frankston has gone from zero decent cafes and restaurants to having more than sufficient.

    Is it time for Frankston?

    Which Golden Mile are you referring to? Seaford's Golden Mile is consistently referred to as Fortescue Ave and Kananook Ave. On the subject of housing for $400k in Seaford. No chance on anything beachside. You're looking at $550k minimum for an unrenovated home beachside at the moment...

    Frankston Bypass - Mornington property values

    I see the fwy having big benifits for Frankston to Portsea with people to view Frankston, Mt Eliza and Mornington as liveable suburbs of Melbourne. With the fwy Frankston will only be 40 mins to CBD and Mornington only slightly longer - putting them both in the city market. More importantly, my...

    New Record Price For Frankston?

    How much did it sell for? $440,000? If so this is nothing to be surprised about - with quality properties in Frankston sell for in excess of $1.5 million. One on the market at the moment for $2-2.2million This is in the Frankston High School Zone, has a pool, large block (but not...

    Melbourne Hot Spots - Outer Melbourne

    Clearly you haven't spent enough time visiting Frankston. Best beaches in Melbourne, capital of the Mornington Peninsula, train line, uni, TAFE, large shopping centre, great cycling routes to city along Beach Rd or Bay Trail, great new freeway access (and soon to be bypass), potential marina...

    Interesting comment about the Lycra brigade. I recently spoke to council to see how far away a dedicated cycle lane along Nepean from Keast to Mile Bridge was. I've been assured it's on the priority agenda already but it doesn't sound like it will go through until Peninsula Link is finished...

    Seaford Beachside = Very Relaxing, but..

    Fifth! Why are you so negative? Perhaps you are stuck in an inner city smog hole suburb living in a unit and don't get enough exercise. Or have bought in Brighton and are mortgaged to the hilt. Maybe you should add some fun and relaxation to your life...take up 'kite surfing', 'cycling' or...

    Seaford Beachside = Very Relaxing, but..

    Why do some people keep talking about Seaford being at risk of flood? Other areas of eastern Melbourne have flooded regularly since the late 1800s, Seaford hasn't once... Mmmm Frankston South and Mt Eliza - work from home or a professional footballer? Then yes please!!

    Seaford Beachside = Very Relaxing, but..

    I love them both - although have something against the name "Carrum" just doesn't sound nice to me... I think with St Kilda FC moving to Seaford, the clean up of Frankston, a cleaner beach and native foreshore Seaford will overtake Carrum. I also feel 'Seaford" has a more beachy village feel...

    Seaford Beachside = Very Relaxing, but..

    Seaford is one of the most liveable suburbs in Melbourne. This is probably more due to having Frankston on the door step than its proximity to trains and freeways. (Frankston was recently voted in the top five most liveable suburbs of Melbourne) Seaford is roughly a 45 - 50 min train to...

    Thanks for the link, that Myschool website is very interesting. Both schools seem close enough to average for me (particularly in a middle to low class suburb) but Kananook has the better results. I didnt even know Kananook Primary existed.

    Bayside and Azza by the comments you make Im guessing you live in Frankston North or non beachside Seaford aka "Seaford Downs". You seem to be suburb proud and unfairly grouping beachside Seaford. The freeway is a massive barrier for Seaford and in my opinion should have meant dividing the...

    I disagree with a few of your points you make here pickle pickle: My partner took the nepean hwy to city this morning in 35 minutes (she drives on or slower than the speed limit). Yes sunday morning the roads are empty but provided its not peak either eastlink or nepean will get you to the cbd...

    This is good in a way as its bringing in better tenants and a younger more middle class demographic that demand new, clean and modern housing, on the other hand there is potential this will damage the suburbs feel. This is particularly concerning with many developers from outside the area...

    Interesting to note the new St Kilda training facility is being labelled as being in Frankston. Presumably because Frankston City council are sponsoring it What does everyone think of Seaford being such a large suburb - this definitely influences the median house price with beach side and non...

    I would have thought this was a fair price. Anything liveable on the beachside has been selling for $500, anything to be knocked down and subdivided for $450. On the other side that unit seems a fair price. It is however new and in the best location on the wrong side of the fwy. I cant...

    Any idea what it sold for though? Id guess using the $395 - $435 was a tactic used to draw in more buyers - where as they prob wouldn't settle for any less than $430. Although it is on the "other" side of the fwy.

    I agree, even axe head unit developments are going for 450k+ at least on beachside. Even knock down job houses beachside are selling for at least $450k
