Clendon Park, Auckland | Postcode, Population & Property Values

Living in Clendon Park

Clendon Park is in South Auckland, around 28 km from the CBD, between Manurewa and the Manukau Harbour coastline at Weymouth. It was built almost in one go through the 1980s as a planned suburb, which gives it an unusually consistent housing stock: low-slung 80s homes on cul-de-sac streets, designed around parks and walkways in the planning fashion of the day.

Around 11,000 people live here, and the suburb has one of the youngest age profiles in the country, with a strong Maori and Pasifika community that powers a dense network of churches, sports clubs and community programmes.

Te Matariki Clendon Community Centre and Library is the civic heart, sharing a site with the Clendon Shopping Centre on Roscommon Road, where the supermarket, takeaways and services cover the daily needs. The coastline at Weymouth is a short drive west for harbour walks.

Clendon Park School handles much of the primary catchment; most secondary students attend James Cook High School in Manurewa. Buses connect to Manurewa's train station for the Southern Line into the city. Clendon Park rarely makes the Auckland conversation, which says more about the conversation than the suburb. The community sector here gets more done before Saturday lunch than some suburbs manage in a year.
