The popularity of Te Atatu Peninsula’s views and proximity to the harbour has led to a real estate boom in this area. Modern houses have sprung up on land that outlooks the city and Auckland’s sailing devotees have ample places to launch their boats.
Te Atatu South has a strong reputation for solid family homes close to good shops, motorways (including convenient access to the CBD) and schools.
With its diverse mix of residents, professional young couples and families intermingle with ease. The value of waterside living cannot be under-estimated and residents love the fact that this is not a ‘through’ suburb, so it is protected from Auckland’s busy traffic routes.
Plenty of schools are located in the area, with at least five primary schools, two intermediates and a large co-ed secondary school, Rutherford College.
Te Atatu has a relaxed village-style centre and leisure facilities are numerous, including a marine-themed playground next to the community centre and sports grounds galore. The peninsula offers stunning views from the walkways that meander along its edges, and will be enhanced by the future development of an 80 hectare waterfront reserve with views of Auckland city.
