A stately suburb of mature trees and majestic family homes, Remuera is one of the most attractive areas of Auckland. Many properties on the northern slopes possess breathtaking views of the sparkling Waitemata harbour and the Hauraki Gulf. This sought-after location is close to many of Auckland's private schools, Auckland Grammar & Epsom Girls' Grammar giving this area a competitive advantage. Remuera enjoys its position as one of Auckland's most established suburbs with its medium to high socio-economic groups.
The area caters for the complete cross section of buyers from retired people living in apartments so they can be near family, grandchildren and shops to education conscious families. The typical high rise blocks of 30 years old have been clustered on the ridge of Remuera commanding fabulous northerly views, but current zoning now is limited these to three storey, so the density and availability is limited. Remuera appeals to all sectors of buyers from returning expats, internal transfers from within the country to wealthy Asian and European immigrants, According to some estimates half of the area's current buyers are aged less that 45 or couples on high joint incomes who appreciate the high resale value of the area.
Impressive villas and bungalows intermingle with some of Auckland's grandest homes with their extensive grounds. Heritage zoning protects the character of certain streets to ensure Remuera's perennial charm is kept intact for future generations. The injection of youthful exuberance and wealth into the locality is reflected by the large number of new residences and low rise apartments. The architectural features and design in these homes have integrated state of the art technology with the demands of the modern living and high quality construction.
Remuera has a lively vibe with its shopping 'village' and the Barfoot & Thompson office is strategically situated in the heart of this village. At the end of Remuera Road lies the shopping and entertainment mecca of Newmarket. This main arterial road connects Remuera to Auckland City and many of Auckland's treasures, including the eastern suburbs beaches thus ensuring that Remuera will continue to be a coveted suburb.
The proximity to Auckland’s major transport corridors, north and south motorways, both train lines to CBD and specific bus service are unequalled in Auckland. All these features and benefits make Remuera “the place to live”.
