Wellington Central
Central areas will appeal to those who walk to work and who enjoy the buzz of the city. There’s no need to catch public transport from Mt Victoria, Thorndon or Oriental Bay. Well, maybe on the worst days of winter you might be forgiven!
​
In these densely populated and expensive city areas your outdoor space is likely to be limited to a balcony or small garden – but that’s not unusual if you’re familiar with larger cities like London, New York or Sydney. This does mean that properties do tend to be low maintenance, which often suits a cosmopolitan lifestyle.
​
Don’t let the lack of a large garden deter you though. There are some great parks, walkways and public amenities to stretch your legs including Waitangi Park, Mt Victoria, Te Ahu Mairangi, and Oriental Parade.
​
Most of all, living in a central Wellington suburb enables you to enjoy the vibrancy and pulse of the city, via it’s people, arts and culture and the multitude of social activities.
