Hi everyone,
My husband has a job offer for a company with offices in both Christchurch (Hornby South) or Ashburton so either of these areas are of interest.
We have 2 kids (10 and 5) and would like to get a house for under $400k as don't want a massive mortgage.
Obviously we would like to be close to good schools and somewhere with sports facilities (either/both netball and basketball for my daughter) and enough to do for my daughter when she is a teenager as this isn't too far away!
My husband is happy to commute up to an hour if needs be. Had looked at Kaiapoi and Rangiora but not sure how rebuild is coming on in Kaiapoi and how bad the commute would be from there?
Also we aren't bothered too much about living somewhere with lots of pubs/restaurants as this isn't really out thing. Would rather be able to get out into the country for walking/cycling etc.
Any recommendations/suggestions would be really appreciated as need to make a decision in the next few days.
Many thanks for all your help.
Louise
