Auckland

Auckland. Love it, moan about it, sit in traffic because of it. There’s a reason most of the country ends up here at some point.

For a place built on a few dozen volcanoes, it’s surprisingly spread out. You’ve got the leafy eastern bays, the surf out west, the Shore across the bridge, and the whole of the south, with every corner quietly convinced it’s the best bit and a bit suspicious of the others.

That’s a lot of ground to cover, which is exactly why this page exists. Every suburb in the Auckland district, gathered in one spot, so you can compare them properly instead of guessing. Pick one and you’ll get the straight version: who lives there, what a house will set you back (brace yourself), how the schools stack up, and whether the commute is liveable or just a slow form of punishment.

Thinking of shifting across town? Working out where to buy? Or just nosy about the suburb everyone keeps banging on about? Have at it.

Scroll down, pick a suburb, and see how it actually shapes up. No agent required.
