Just minutes from the heart of the bustling Central City, New Lynn and close neighbour Avondale form the original gateway to West Auckland, the starting point of easy access to the stunning Waitakere Ranges subtropical rainforest, (crayfish can be found just a 25 minute drive from the office) and people travel the world to surf at Piha, or walk our Native bush tracks.
A popular first buy for families, the area provides a diverse mix of bungalows, brick-and-tile, and the most modern housing, with the chance of finding native bush privacy or maybe a harbour side hideaway at a relatively sensible price.
The Schools are renowned. Select the zone for Avondale College, Kelston Boys High (Football Fame), the Green Bay College (Contemporary) or Kelston Girls to cater for the schooling you desire for your children. The Unitec Tertiary Education Centre is also nearby on the City side of Avondale.
With the Council's vision of providing a quality walk close to every home, residents are spoiled for choice by the surrounding parks and reserves. Right next door to New Lynn the Avondale Jockey Club's Racecourse is a hub of activity, as the key venue for a range of sports activities and social events. Nothing in Auckland beats the crush of people at the Avondale Markets held every Sunday, there is an enormous range of local produce, retail stalls and bargains. Further West the beautiful Waitakere Ranges provide amazing walks and scenic views. Nearby West Coast beaches Piha, Karekare and Anawhata or peaceful picnic spots at Cornwallis and Huia on the mighty Manukau Harbour, attract people from all over Auckland to enjoy the sun and surf of these natural retreats.
Prominently located on the corner of Great North Road and Delta Avenue our Barfoot & Thompson offices are in the heart of the Old Village shops. Modern and well-appointed Lynnmall is the area's shopping focal point, and includes the train link to central Auckland.
