All the extra time we’ve spent in our own neighbourhoods the last couple of years has shown us that life is better when you love the place you’re in. Things like easy access to nature and friendly neighbours can make a big difference to our quality of life. Northcote is already blessed with beautiful beaches, green spaces and a vibrant community - and significant investment in its parks, walkways and town centre is set to make it even better. No wonder locals love this place.
Here’s what Northcote locals love about their place

“It’s great being so close to the beach and parks”
Living in Northcote, you’re never far from the beach or parks. It’s just 10 minutes from Takapuna beach, and there are over 90 parks, playgrounds and reserves in and surrounding Northcote, including the new upgraded Greenslade Reserve set to open this year. Te Ara Awataha, a new ‘living’ greenway, will soon link parks to neighbourhood streets, the town centre and schools. And all this is only 15 minutes from the CBD.

“The food!”
Northcote is a culturally rich neighbourhood with a famously diverse food scene. In the bustling town centre, you’ll find visitors from all over Auckland sitting alongside locals enjoying everything from traditional dumplings, to murtabak (curry-stuffed pancakes), to Korean charcoal barbeque. Five minutes’ walk from the town centre, you’ll find the hugely popular Beer Spot, a craft beer enthusiast’s nirvana, complemented by a rotating cast of top shelf food trucks.

“It’s super family friendly”
This is a place that kids love too. They’re spoilt for choice when it comes to places to blow off some steam, such as Onepoto Domain with its impressive ‘learn to ride’ bike paths, adventure playground and bush walks. Parents love that there are five schools and an early learning centre within walking distance, as well as a library, community centre and art gallery.
