Kilbirnie

Busy and useful rather than scenic. A genuine town centre for the east, with everyday shopping, eateries and the ASB Sports Centre. The flat terrain and central position make it a natural hub.

Tommy’s Real Estate

Housing and streets

A mix of bungalows, mid-century homes, townhouses and apartments, much of it on flat, walkable streets. Generally more affordable than the harbour-front suburbs, with infill and townhouse development adding choice.

Getting around

One of the best-connected eastern suburbs. Frequent buses to the city via the tunnel, and an easy hop to the airport, Lyall Bay and Hataitai. Flat enough to cycle and walk comfortably.
