We're a family of 4 - Dad, Mum and 2 boys (5 and 2). Dad will be working in Takapuna and although we've been looking at the Whangaparoa area, we're not seeing anything with a decent sized garden The houses are beautiful, but we'd like somewhere with a garden big enough to keep a few chickens, grow our own veg and let 2 VERY energetic boys let off lots of steam.
Any other thoughts about which areas we should look at? Schools will also obviously be a major consideration.
