Dunedin City

Dunedin is the student city with the steepest street in the world, a proud Scottish streak, and a heritage skyline that survived the centuries because nobody could afford to knock it down. The university keeps it young, the weather keeps it honest, and the locals wouldn’t have it any other way.

It’s a city of grand old stone, scarfie flats, and an Otago Peninsula full of albatross and penguins out the back. The suburbs run from the historic centre to the hill spots with harbour views to the student quarter, and prices remain some of the most reasonable of any city in the country.

There are 166 suburbs across the city. This page lays them out so you can compare without guessing: who lives where, what you’ll pay, how the schools sit, and which streets are student territory versus family quiet.
