About Parkdale

Parkdale is a genuine bayside suburb 22 kilometres southeast of Melbourne's CBD, positioned along the Mentone-Mordialloc strip of Kingston. Parkdale station on the Frankston line provides city access, while the beach and foreshore trail are within walking distance of most homes. The suburb offers a quieter alternative to busy neighbours.

Life revolves around beach access and family livingβ€”the foreshore is perfect for swimming and walking, while the village strip on Como Parade West provides local cafes and shops. Schools are well-regarded, and the community maintains a genuine neighbourhood feel. Parkdale attracts families seeking bayside living at more accessible prices than Brighton or Sandringham.

Parkdale falls under postcode 3195 and is governed by Kingston Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mordialloc (South-Eastern Metropolitan) electorate.
