    Hi Kaloni,

    Yes Chelsea is one of those lovely bayside suburbs next to Seaford, but a fair bit more costly.

    It is an older but very well established area, with great beachfront homes.

    Definitely worth considering!!!

    Jo

    P.S. Kaloni, I have sent you a PM with further details.

    My views on Chelsea.

    If its beachside of the rail – go for it. I reckon its an underrated area. Well I reckopn everything beachside of the rail in underrated.

    If its the city side of Thames Promenade its ok.

    If its the frankston side of thames Promoande – i have my doubts. There are units everyhwere and its a bit of a battlers area.

    If I was looking in that area for a 2 bed unit, unless its beacshide, I would pay a little extra for around Mentone or South Frankston.

    I live in Aspendale.

    Off topic …

    I went to the Chelsea town once and found the people there a bit rough in general. Of course, there are the exceptional rich people who live by the beach but I am talking generally here.

    For Melbournites, don’t you think the suburbs with the more pleasant names are generally the rougher ones ? … Sunshine, Broadmeadows, Deer Park, Springvale, Wyndham Vale, Dandenong, etc …

    When I hear those name, leafy greeny bright places comes ti mind

    Can I tell you a story.

    I grew up in Mentone and attended schools there. When I got my licence 1983 – we went away for a canoeing weekend and had to pickup a canoe from Aspendale. I thought what a shitty area. Now I live around the corner and always drive pass the house where I picked up the canoe.

    So back in 1983 i never imagined I would be living in Aspendale.

    Chelsea is still a bit rough around the edges. There are many units on the Frankston side of Thames Promenade.

    Beachside is undervalued and not appreciated in the eyes of Melbournians I reckon. After all Aspendale, Chelsea etc were like Rye, Rosebud is today. A holiday area where you did not spend alot of money on the house unlike Kew, Hawthorn etc.

    My Dad grew up in Highett and people used to go on their holidays by train to SEAFORD. You gotta laugh now when I hear that story.

    Personally I reckon those surburbs from Mordialloc to Frankston will boom. Low income earners are being squeezed out as people are starting to appreciate the bay/beach and the train/transport.

    Many of my mates have moved into Aspendale/Edithvale/Chelsea. I am 400m to train station and 500m to beach.

    Hi,

    I think that everything on the beach side of the Nepean Hwy to Mordialloc and everything on the beech side of the train line thereafter is attractive, with exactly where you choose depending on how much you are willing to spend. There is a long term trend in population movement towards the beach, and all of these suburbs will be major beneficiaries.
