Glendene, Auckland | Postcode, Population & Property Values

Living in Glendene

Glendene sits in West Auckland between Kelston, Te Atatū South and the Whau River's upper reaches, around 13 km from the CBD, and it is one of those suburbs whose best asset took decades for anyone to properly notice: the water. The Whau curls along Glendene's edge, and Archibald Park's riverside lawns, boat ramp and the growing Te Whau Pathway boardwalks have turned the suburb's back fence into its front porch, one section of shared path at a time.

Around 6,000 people live here, in the 1960s weatherboard and brick of the great western expansion, on streets that have quietly become some of the better value in the inner west, a fact the townhouse developers spotted around the same time the herons did.

The retail geometry is generous for the price point: LynnMall and the New Lynn interchange sit five minutes south, WestCity Henderson five minutes north, and the local Hepburn Road shops handle the daily basics in between.

Glendene School serves the local years, with the Kelston colleges next door taking most secondary students. Glendene's pitch was always location arithmetic. Now it's location arithmetic with a riverside boardwalk, and the arithmetic, the locals note, keeps improving.
