Information The following are an introduction to Auckland and the Auckland lifestyle, together with information about housing and education in New Zealand. Housing Most Auckland families like to live in separate houses on their own section. Terraced houses or clusters of high rise apartment buildings - a feature of big cities in other countries - are only just beginning to catch on in Auckland. In some suburbs, older houses on big sections have been replaced with townhouses - three or four smaller units joined together and sharing the garden. Clusters of terraced houses are also beginning to develop, particularly around key transport routes. This makes better use of land, especially in the suburbs close to the city centre. Jewish South Africans have tended to settle in the older, more central eastern suburbs like Remuera, St Johns Park, St Johns, Meadowbank, St Heliers, Kohimarama, Glendowie, and Mission Bay. However some families have favoured the North Shore, which is another popular area with the thousands of South Africans in Auckland. The south-eastern suburbs (Howick, Pakuranga) provide more value for money than the central suburbs. House
rents obviously vary according to the location and the size. |
