If I was moving to Melbourne again I'd probably go to Mornington. Frankston has some rough areas in it but its getting better, has a lovely beach area.

Mt Martha and Eliza are gorgeous, but have a nice price tag to go with it. As Bordy says, beware of Frankston, though Franston south is better.

Wellllll as I said before Mornington is my fav but the area around Mornington, Mt Eliza & Mt Martha is just beautiful. Some great houses, some at a Million plus. Some good beachside cafes / restaurants / bars. Some fantastic parks & walks. The weather seems to be a bit better at the coast than it is inland here. Its just a very relaxing area I find.
