We've been living in NorthEast Valley (NEV) for about 10 months, and have another 8 or so left on our lease. We're starting to think about where to move next.
Right now we live in the flat, near a stream. We like the ducks, greenery, and easy walking, but we don't like the dampness [from the stream] and lack of sun [from being in the valley]. Cold and humidity are invitations to mold and bugs, and we're getting tired of that constant battle.
So we're thinking about moving up out of the valley into either Opoho or Pine Hill, or even other parts of Dunedin, in hopes of finding a house that is warmer and drier. We'd love to stay within a half-hour walk of the gardens and/or the Octagon, but if that's not possible, some other inspiring parks would suffice.
Any thoughts on a good "next step" from NEV?
