Home > Auckland Housing

Auckland Housing varies considerably, from colonial worker's cottages and villas, state houses, brick and tile homes, bungalows, apartments, plaster and masonry homes to beautiful, multi million dollar waterfront mansions.

More recently there have been many Auckland apartments and terraced homes built in the city and you can buy a beautiful, new freestanding townhouse in the east, around the Dannemora and Botany Downs area.

These are ultra modern homes with every ammenity but if you prefer to live in something more traditional then Auckland has the widest range of timbered, Victorian and Edwardian style housing with classical details and mouldings that you'll find anywhere in the world.

Modern Villa

Most homes are built of wood and detached, standing on quarter acre plots which has resulted in a city spread out over a large area.

Victorian Villa

Even Victorian villas have been pulled down to make way for ultra modern mansions with swimming pools and tennis courts.

Colonial Cottage
