The streetscape is generally open due to the low horizontal building forms and low or open style fencing. Buildings and homes are predominantly 1960s - 1970s ''Housing Commission of Victoria'' homes made of conite, fibro rendering with some contemporary styling added by the renovation. Sealed roads have kerbs and footpaths on both sides of the street. Trees are medium to large and planted irregularly in streets. The approximate size of Frankston North is 5.2 km2. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frankston North, Victoria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
