What, to your mind, are the best and worst areas of Melbourne?
I hear Kananook (North Frankston) ain't too great. |

Kananook/"The Pines" is getting better as alot of young just married couples are buying houses there and doing them up cause it's a cheap market. _________________ Collingwood:Not just a club,but a way of life!

I'm from the Peninsula, though currently live in Melbourne.
Kananook is a hole. I wouldn't move there if you paid me. I walked from Kananook station to Frankston last year and it's not the nicest place. |

It's really a matter of what you like.
I like the Beach so I say the best areas are the Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham. I chose to buy in Eltham because I like the rustic feel of the place, the leafyness and the wildlife (and the Bayside suburbs are totally unaffordable).
The worst, are probably the less affluent suburbs like St Albans, Footscray, Broadmeadows, Frankston etc. _________________ How would Siri know when to answer "Hey Siri" unless it is listening in to everything you say? |

Brighton has a very snobby,aristocratic vibe to it.It's like if you don't have a gold american express card,you don't belong.Walking down Church St is like walking around the Toorak end of Chadstone,it's just stinks of money. _________________ Collingwood:Not just a club,but a way of life!

Berwick (where my Grandma currently lives) is a pretty nice little place, only drawback is it's ages from the city.
Where she used to live, Clayton, had a nice suburban feel to it but was kind of rough in hindsight. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

Quote: | Eight people have been stabbed during a party at a Melbourne soccer club which was gatecrashed by youths armed with knives and machetes.
Three of the eight are still in hospital after they were wounded when a group of up to 30 youths gatecrashed a party at the St Albans Saints' Soccer Club, in Fox Road, St Albans, in Melbourne's north-west, about 10.50pm yesterday, Victoria Police said.
"It is believed a large brawl ensued and the intruding group produced a range of knives and machetes," a police spokeswoman said. |

Gee Frankston always gets a bad wrap. It's not entirely fair though. I grew up in Tyabb on the Mornington Peninsula so spent a fair bit of time in Frankston.
Frankston is a big area, there are bad areas, like Kananook, the pines, karingal etc, but there are also very nice (and expensive!) areas, mainly in the south of Frankston and Olivers hill area, the next suburb to the south is Mt Eliza and that is basically the Toorak of the Peninsula.
There are quite a lot of nice decent and freindly people living in Frankston, they are not all just bogans as people like Sam Newman would have you believe. Most of them even have a full mouth of teeth!
The used to be a bit of a gang and drug problem, mainly around the station and surrounding areas, but that is all but gone now. It seems to have moved onto to Dandenong (now there's a hole if there ever was one). |

Smith street Fitzroy is not too crash hot at night time.
I went to a birthday drinks at the Panama Dining room on Smith street on Friday night, and I was quite concerned for my safety for a while. The street was full of deros (some underage and one girl was pregnant) drinking, smoking and shooting up on the street and swearing and arguing with each other, myself and my wife felt a bit uncomfortable. I was glad when we got inside. When we came out, a police car was there and there was barely anyone in sight. |
