Frankston is a vibrant bayside suburb on the eastern shore of Port Phillip Bay, around 41 kilometres south-east of Melbourne's CBD and widely regarded as the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula. With calm, sandy beaches, a lively waterfront precinct and a genuine sense of community, it offers a lifestyle that blends coastal living with the convenience of a major regional centre.
The Frankston Waterfront, built around Frankston Pier, features a boardwalk, open lawns and beachside dining, while the Bayside Shopping Centre in the heart of the city offers more than 240 stores including major retailers, a cinema and dining options, all within walking distance of the train station. Karingal Hub provides further shopping with Woolworths and Big W anchoring over 110 specialty stores. The suburb also has a wide choice of schools and childcare options, plus numerous parks, with close to a fifth of Frankston's land given over to open space.
Frankston railway station is the terminus of the Frankston line, with frequent metro services to the city every 10 to 20 minutes as well as the scenic Stony Point line, and the suburb has excellent access to Peninsula Link and Nepean Highway. Frankston's population was around 37,331 at the 2021 Census, and median house prices have recently been reported at around $835,000 to $843,500, reflecting notably strong growth over the past year. For buyers wanting bayside living with city-level amenities, Frankston is a standout choice.
