Living in Bellevue
Bellevue is a western Tauranga suburb around 4 km west of the city centre, on the rising land between Otumoetai and Brookfield. It's one of Tauranga's mid-century established suburbs, with around 4,500 residents and a settled residential character built up through the 1960s and 1970s.
The Bellevue shops on Bellevue Road have the local mix: a small supermarket, takeaways, the local pharmacy, the Bellevue Medical Centre and a row of small businesses. Most major shopping is done at the Brookfield Shopping Centre next door or at the Bethlehem Town Centre further west.
Bellevue Park provides the local green space, with sports fields, a playground and walking paths. The Bellevue Tennis Club and the local junior rugby club use the park facilities. The Wairoa River walking trail accessible from the suburb's western edge provides a good cycling and walking connection.
Bellevue School (state co-ed primary) handles the local primary. Older students typically attend Otumoetai College or Tauranga Boys' College and Tauranga Girls' College. Most homes are 1960s and 1970s brick-and-tile on standard sections, with newer infill housing arriving as Tauranga's housing demand pushes westward. Compact, settled, and quietly typical of mid-Tauranga.
