Hi All,
We are due to move to Wellington in March of this year, so I am looking at possible locations to rent somewhere for the first 6mths to a year. We lived in Newtown for 4 months back in 2007/08 so have a fair idea of that neck of the woods. However, this time around we'll have a 11 mth old in tow so our wants/needs location-wise differ slightly!
Karori seems to be cropping up fairly frequently with the kind of properties we'd ideally like - and can afford - but apart from a trip to the wildlife sanctuary I don't know an awful lot about it. It seems to be a nice location for families (lots of parks, decent schools) although it might be a bit of a walk/trek to town on the windy roads from what I can see.
What's the commute like to the CBD? All the regular supermarkets etc.? Decent cafes? Windier because it's higher up????
Failing Karori, any other suggestions for family friendly suburbs (within 10km of CBD ideally).
Any comments/thoughts much appreciated.
Ta, Jane.
