Living in Goodwood Heights
Goodwood Heights sits on the ridges of southeast Manukau, around 26 km from the Auckland CBD, in the elevated band of 1980s and 90s suburbia running along Redoubt Road. Around 6,000 people live here, on looping streets named with the developer optimism of the era, in solid family homes that have spent three decades quietly proving the optimism justified.
The suburb's masterstroke is its neighbour. Tōtara Park, 216 hectares of native bush, mountain bike tracks, walking trails and summer swimming pool, runs along Goodwood Heights' edge, which means the suburb enjoys a genuine forest as its de facto backyard, a perk that would triple the marketing budget anywhere closer to the isthmus. Tūī commute over the back fences daily.
The human geography works just as hard: the Southern Motorway interchange sits minutes away, Manukau city centre's full kit, Westfield, MIT, the pools, is five minutes west, and the Botanic Gardens are just down the hill.
The local primaries serve the ridges with Alfriston College and Manurewa High taking most secondary students. Goodwood Heights is the heights part made literal and the goodwood part made green. The bush was here first. The suburb had the sense to move in next door and keep quiet about it.
