Hi,
Me and my boyfriend are moving to Wellington in October. Just wondering where is a good suburb to live? Ideally either walking distance (no more than 1 hour walk) to the CBD, or must be close to good public transport. I've been looking at rental properties online and we don't really want to spend more than $350-400 per week for a 1-2 bedroom place. Things that are important to us are: having some shops close by for groceries etc, maybe a pub or 2, living in a safe neighbourhood. I'm also a little worried about earthquakes after the recent one that took place. Are there particular areas that are safer in terms of tremor strength etc?
Also, do many people cycle in Wellington? Or is it too hilly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
