Onehunga is a popular community-orientated suburb that exudes personality.
Being one of Auckland’s oldest suburbs, there is a great range of colonial villas, bungalows and workers’ cottages, many with views of Manukau Harbour and the port. The houses are subject to constant renovation, and while many of them have been completely restored and modernised, there is still plenty of choice for those wanting a do-up.
In recent times the area has seen a resurgence of interest, especially with young professional couples and families. They’re attracted to the renovation potential as well as the many great facilities on offer. Being close to the motorways and the main arterial routes, it’s just a quick drive to the CDB and the airport too.
Onehunga residents love living here for its abundance of trendy cafes, ethnic eateries and great shopping opportunities. From the local boutiques to the notable Dress Mart, which provides the best of outlet shopping, there is something for everyone.
Onehunga also has good education facilities, a modern library and artistic and cultural facilities. There is a network of historical walks and it’s just a stone’s throw from national treasures of One Tree Hill Domain and Cornwall Park. The area is also well served by sports clubs and facilities such as the Onehunga War Memorial Pool and the Manukau Cruising Club.
The Barfoot & Thompson office is strategically positioned in the heart of the shopping strip and has been servicing the community’s residential property needs since 1953. Having weathered all stages of the property cycle and stood the test of time, they can give you the best advice for all market conditions.
If you are wanting a fun, personality packed atmosphere as well as a convenient central living location, Onehunga is the place to live.
