You probably live with the bogans in Frankston North - in which case yes do get out! I can't say the same for the rest of Frankston though. I live here blissfully with none of the aforementioned problems. Might I say I have also lived in Brighton and there was a gang of teenagers constantly stirring trouble ie. smashing windows, throwing rubbish around and stealing things. You should always choose carefully the street you live on as every suburb has their nuisances! : )

Your experience does not represent the whole suburb of Frankston. I lived there for over 30 years and never saw anything you describe. I agree with Citysister - maybe you are just in a bad street, which could happen in any suburb.
Perhaps you should have just reviewed your own street rather than condemn the whole suburb?

frankston is sensational!!!!!

Frankston is/has been good to me.

Frankston has all anyone needs (high quality Education and public health/leisure facilities, pubs, cafes, restaurants and way more)

Frankston's diverse past resulted that it has some of the best/most effectively active Police in Melbourne and they are cleaning up North Frankston (famously filthy pines)

Frankston is not finished getting better, all the wackos are leaving and hard working decent folk are the dominant ratio/majority. (the criminals are scared and only wonder out if they need something (pop out to shops..otherwise I dont know where they all are...I have tried to spot them but where are they?)

Frankston is 25 mins from hastings/dromana/Flinders/Rye/Rosebud, etc which are breathtakingly beautiful places which I often take my friends and family who visit (they all comment on how lucky I am to be right here (im 25 and I own a house with big front and back yards...big carport and nice interior 2 bed room)

Frankston Is not too close to the City (melbourne) so none of the Friday/saturday night hooligans spill out to frankston (probs less than 1%), and as previously stated the Police here can manage the small amount of night life that does exist in Frankston Central.

Frankston is SO awesome that I dont want to relocate...I will have to stay.

Frankston will go up in value so good place to find a good street and play your part in the further advancement of the already high quality of living and price of property in Frankston.

Frankston : dont let the rumors fool you, see it for yourself...Frankston Beach is great and relaxing (makes me feel great to walk there)

@ Citysister - I live in Frankston North and have done so for just over 3 years after relocating from Toorak (Renting in Toorak and purchased in FN), and your stereotypical attitude towards its residents is clearly based on you lack of knowledge in the area, I'm certainly not a bogan, I am employed in a white collar position and have been for over 13 years, I drive a late model European car and am married and quite happy to live and stay in the area. Whilst this "tar with the same brush" approach is common in Frankston North, I feel that perhaps the stigma associated with the "lower economic" region of the municipality that it was previously renown for and in part this is subject to the Governments initiative in the 60/70's to placing all commission housing in the same areas - not exclusive to Frankston - this occurred in every state of Australia and was a disaster. The median price for the area has excelled year on year and with an average sale price of $300,000 this is indicative of a 100% increase in under 10 years, from an investment perspective - a no brainer.

In conclusion, perhaps re-educate yourself before making an unfounded and incorrect analysis on the area prior to making unfounded statements.

Your Faithfully,

(your words) A Bogan from Frankston North.
