Northcote, on Auckland’s north shore, is located just over the Auckland Harbour Bridge, a mere 15-minute drive from the CBD. It has good transport links, with further improvements planned for buses. The suburb is only 10 minutes by car from neighbouring retail and hospitality hub Takapuna and its safe swimming beach. The area benefits from many parks and sports grounds and has a strong community spirit, aided by the many families that have long lived in Northcote.
Kāinga Ora has led the Northcote Development team, increasing the number and quality of homes available to residents to buy or rent, as well as social homes for Aucklanders who need assistance.
