Living

Realise your dream!

Northland will provide you with some wonderful choices when it comes to choosing to buy or rent. From small city apartment living with all the added extras to outstanding luxury properties on some of the best coastline in the world. You will find secluded, serene bush (forest) areas and rural communities where kids can grow up with the feel of grass under their feet. And nowhere in Northland is more than 40km from a coast.

The choice of houses in Northland vary from wooden Californian bungalow homes and historic wooden villas to new homes often in brick or plaster and tile. Most properties are detached and on individually titled land – colloquially known as “the ¼ acre kiwi dream” (although few urban sections are now that large).

Northland real estate is affordable for most people. The website links listed below will provide you with a guide as to the current value of properties in Northland.

Most Northland real estate companies will have a division that specialise in rental properties.  They will be able to guide you with information on current costs and availability in different areas.
