Frankston South real estate: your questions
- Who is the best real estate agent in Frankston South?
- The right agent knows Frankston South’s streets and what sets them apart: the bay views on Olivers Hill, the bigger blocks and bushland pockets, and the school options. They should prepare your home properly, price it from real evidence and negotiate personally. LynchCo sells homes in Frankston South, with one agent from the first conversation to the final signature.
- Is Frankston South a good place to live?
- If you want space, yes. Frankston South has wide, leafy streets, larger blocks, bushland reserves and a golf course, with schools in the suburb and Frankston’s station, beach and shops a few minutes away. Mount Eliza’s village is just over the border.
- Is Frankston South on the Mornington Peninsula?
- It’s on the Peninsula’s doorstep. Frankston South is in the City of Frankston rather than the Mornington Peninsula Shire, and it borders Mount Eliza, the Shire’s first suburb. The Peninsula’s beaches and villages are close by, and Frankston’s train line to the city is minutes away.
- Who buys in Frankston South?
- Mostly families upsizing, many drawn by Frankston High School, whose zone takes in parts of the suburb. We also see buyers from Melbourne’s east, in Boroondara and Manningham, and from Bayside suburbs like Brighton. Their budget goes much further here, often to a home with a pool or a tennis court, and with more people working from home, the daily commute matters less than it used to.
- Is Frankston South better value than Mount Eliza?
- It offers much of Mount Eliza’s lifestyle, with the same leafy streets, big blocks and quiet, often at better value. That doesn’t mean it lacks a top end: Frankston South’s record, set in 2025 by a clifftop home that sold for $17 million, is well above Mount Eliza’s record of $12.4 million.
- What is the median house price in Frankston South?
- The median house price in Frankston South was $1.2m in 2025, up 94% over ten years, according to the Valuer-General Victoria. Homes with bay views and those on larger, established blocks sit at the top of the market. Ask us for a free appraisal of yours.
- How far is Frankston South from Melbourne?
- About 50 minutes’ drive from the Melbourne CBD without traffic, and 7 minutes from Frankston Station, with trains to the city. Mount Eliza and the rest of the Peninsula are a short drive south.
- What schools are in Frankston South?
- Mount Erin Secondary College and Derinya Primary School are both in the suburb, along with Woodleigh School’s junior campus, Minimbah, an independent school. Parts of Frankston South are also zoned for Frankston High School, just to the north, and for many families that’s a big reason to buy here. Mount Eliza’s schools, including Toorak College and Peninsula Grammar, are a short drive south.
- How much is my house worth in Frankston South?
- It comes down to position, outlook, condition and the buyers competing for homes like yours right now. Online estimates can’t see your home, so treat them as a rough guide at best. For an accurate figure, book a free appraisal and we’ll show you the recent Frankston South sales behind it.
