Living in Newmarket

Newmarket is Auckland's inner-city shopping district, on the southeastern edge of the CBD, around 3 km from Britomart. It's been a retail centre since the late 1800s and has just kept upgrading, most recently with the 277 Newmarket redevelopment that opened in 2019.

Westfield Newmarket (the 277 development) is the anchor: over 230 retailers, two department-store flagships (Farmers, David Jones), an upmarket food precinct, and around 1,800 parking spaces in the basement. Broadway runs north-south as the main retail spine, with a mix of New Zealand designers, international fashion, and the kind of cafés that survive on high-traffic CBD-adjacent locations.

Newmarket Station on the Western and Southern Lines is a major rail interchange, putting Britomart 6 minutes away. Most of the suburb's residential housing is post-2000 apartments, concentrated around the train station and the Khyber Pass corridor.

Newmarket's character is genuinely retail. There's no village pretence here. The cafés are good, the parking is structured, the trains are frequent, and the foot traffic on Broadway on a Saturday afternoon is among the densest in Auckland. If you're in Newmarket, you came to shop, eat, or change trains. The suburb is comfortable with that.
