Hello!
My husband and I are moving to Auckland from the US at the end of the week and have been looking at suburbs of Auckland to rent a house. We are looking for a nice, safe area, close to CBD (don't want to commute more than 30 min.), restaurants, bars, beach within walking or biking distance a big plus, but not a must. We don't have kids, so not concerned with school districts. The Orakei/Mission Bay area looks like it might suit our needs. Just wondering if anyone is familiar with the area and could give us their take. How long does it take to get across Tamaki Dr during rush hour? Think it would suit a late 20s couple who like to go out and have fun, but prefer to come home to a quiet street?
Thanks!
Rose
