Glen Innes

Living in Glen Innes

Glen Innes is in East Auckland, 12 km southeast of the CBD, on the Eastern Line between Meadowbank and Panmure. The suburb was built almost entirely as state housing after the Second World War, planned in the late 1940s as one of Auckland's largest social housing developments. That origin shapes pretty much everything about the place today.

Glen Innes is currently in the middle of the Tāmaki Regeneration Programme: a long-running partnership between government, council and iwi progressively replacing the original state houses with mixed-tenure higher-density housing since 2012. Streets that used to be rows of standalone state houses are now townhouses and apartments. The pace has been controversial. The intent has been to mix social, affordable and market housing without breaking the existing community.

Glen Innes Town Centre on Apirana Avenue has the local shops, library and community hub. The train station puts the CBD around 15 minutes away. Maybury Reserve covers the green space. The community has a strong Pasifika and Māori character with one of the country's most active suburb-level community sectors. Sacred Heart College is up the road in Glendowie. A genuinely interesting place to watch.
