Avondale

Avondale is an established suburb close to the city and popular with its discerning residents. It's one of Auckland's oldest suburbs, with the first European settlement as early as 1843.

The Avondale area is now popular with numerous professionals seeking character family houses on large sections. It also attracts first-home buyers and immigrants, who like it for its good schools, job opportunities and lively community spirit.

Avondale College is highly regarded and people will move into the suburb for this reason alone.

Lynnmall and St Lukes shopping malls  are close by and that has had an impact on suburban strip shopping in Avondale. Avondale centre recently had a revamp, including a newly paved town square, a stage and modern toilets - and that's attracted new shops and cafes. West Coast beaches are easy to reach, and Pt Chevalier beach is just down the road along with easy motorway access.
