The areas of Auckland

Auckland, often called the "Super City," is New Zealand’s largest and most diverse metropolitan area, stretching from the Hibiscus Coast in the north to Pukekohe in the south. It’s made up of a wide range of suburbs, each with its own character and appeal. The central city and waterfront areas, like the CBD, Ponsonby, and Newmarket, offer high-density living, vibrant nightlife, and easy access to offices and entertainment. The North Shore is known for its beaches, family-friendly neighborhoods, and strong school zones, while West Auckland has a more laid-back feel, with a mix of suburban housing, bushland, and a growing creative scene. South Auckland, home to some of the most affordable housing, has a rich cultural diversity and strong community spirit, while East Auckland is popular for its coastal suburbs, good schools, and quieter lifestyle. The city’s housing market reflects this diversity, with everything from apartments and townhouses to sprawling family homes, meaning there’s something for every buyer—if you know where to look.

This also makes it challenging because no house or suburb is the same, and valuing houses across suburbs becomes a fool's excercise.
