We are looking at semi retiring in the Whangaparoa Area. Currently living in Christchurch, have a son in Auckland and will be spending a few days in the Rodney area soon to look around.
Trying to narrow down the areas of interest so just a few questions...
Which areas do the semi retirees (50's 60's) tend to live? Not really keen to be surrounded by young families.
Which areas have the friendliest neighbourhoods where it is easy to get to know people?
Which areas are the most sheltered?
Are there any sections becoming available - expansive sea views / close to a beach. We might look to build.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
