anyone know what these areas are like
Hi all I've just got back from a months hol/reccie and was wondering if anyone had any advise on these areas in Vic. I was staying with my sis in mornington (unfortunately doubt I could afford it there) so was looking at either Frankston, Seaford, Tyabb, Dromana or rye and was wondering if anyone knew what the areas were like.

Re: anyone know what these areas are like
Don't know about Dromana or Rye, but I have family in Seaford and have been there several times. We were going to move there this year but through one thing and another we have opted for Adelaide. Going back to your question I loved Seaford and Frankston. Frankston is a great town with everything there you need, right on the beach plenty to do. I would recommend it and my uncle has lived in Seaford for 30 years and wouldn't move anywhere else. Hope this is of some help to you, Andy

Re: anyone know what these areas are like
We are building a development (small) in Seaford and its definitely worth looking into. Although you would need to be quick because prices are rising, especially with in the upcoming East Link (July 08). Alot of locals are holding off selling their homes now until Sept (traditionally when most homes come on the market after Grand Final). This means there is very little stock around and what is around is often snapped up by developers.
Over the past 18 months the demographics have begun to change and iniatives by the council (ie 1800 report a Hoon) have reduced the stigma of bygone years.
With all areas there are good and bad parts - the closer to the sea the higher the price (reflecting the area).
Also consider Langwarrin (ask Buzzy Bee) or Karingal.

But from my perspective its too far away from CBD for comfortable commuting.
They are widening the western port freeway (adding another 2 lanes), just not sure how long before this is up and running.

Ask Andy Thomas, he may also be of some assistance with short term accomodation.
