Greenlane, Auckland | Schools, Lifestyle & Local Guide

Living in Greenlane

Greenlane is the suburb most people first encounter as a hospital. The Greenlane Clinical Centre (technically part of Auckland City Hospital now, but the name has stuck) was for decades the country's main cardiothoracic surgery centre, and Greenlane Hospital was Auckland's main maternity hospital for two generations. If you grew up in Auckland from the 1960s through the 1990s, there's a fair chance Greenlane was either where you were born or where someone in your family stopped breathing.

The hospital is no longer the suburb's whole story. What's left is a quiet, leafy inner-east suburb bordering Cornwall Park (one of the country's best urban parks) and Newmarket. The Greenlane Roundabout, where Great South Road meets Greenlane West and Greenlane East, is one of Auckland's busier intersections.

Most of Greenlane is 1920s and 1930s villa and bungalow streets, with the kind of mature trees that take a century to grow. Cornwall Park provides 220 hectares of free public space, including One Tree Hill (Maungakiekie) and a working sheep and cattle farm in the middle of the city. Yes, a working farm. In Auckland.

Greenlane Station on the Southern Line is a 10-minute train to Britomart. Most secondary kids attend Auckland Grammar or Epsom Girls Grammar.
