About Auckland

Auckland City is New Zealand’s largest and most cosmopolitan city and the commercial heart of the country 


Auckland, the closest major city to offshore markets, is the economic capital of New Zealand.

Judging by international lifestyle surveys, the 'City of Sails' (there are more boats here per capita than anywhere else on Earth) is also one of the best places in the world to live. That's because Auckland has it all – temperate climate, easy access to the coast, rainforests, wineries, loads of beaches, a thriving nightlife and more!

No wonder it is home to a third of the country's entire population. When there are lots of people there are typically lots of commercial opportunities and high demand for residential property. And that's exactly the case here – expect to pay premium prices for property.
