Gateway to the vibrant Mornington Peninsula, Frankston is primarily residential with dwellings that range from affordable family homes through to top-end properties in the highly prized Long Island and Olivers Hill areas.

Frankston is one of eight metropolitan transit cities to be established under the Victorian Government's Melbourne 2030 Program designed to create opportunities for people to live and work in the same area, reducing the need for them to commute and increasing leisure time available to spend with family and friends.
