Northcote
Northcote is a community that values connection. Local events, shared spaces and community-led projects help bring people together and make the neighbourhood a welcoming place to call home. It's a place where people know their neighbours, feel part of the community, and can build a strong future for their whānau.
Find your home in Northcote
In Northcote, community is at the heart of everyday life.
More people are choosing to call Northcote home as the neighbourhood continues to grow. With new homes available now and more on the way, there are still plenty of opportunities to find a place of your own.
When complete, the Northcote Development will deliver around 1700 new homes across the neighbourhood:
- 480 Kāinga Ora social homes (which are already completed)
- Over 1200 homes available for sale or rent
Northcote includes a range of home types to suit different lifestyles and household sizes:
- Apartments for low-maintenance living
- Terraced homes that combine modern living with efficient use of space
- Standalone homes for those looking for more independence and room to grow
The new homes range from 1 to 4 bedrooms, making it easier to find a home that suits your needs, whether you're buying your first home, growing your whānau, or looking to downsize.
Northcote offers modern, warm and comfortable homes in growing community, with options for people at every stage of life.
Civil works complete
The foundations for Northcote's growth are in place.
Walking around Northcote today, it's easy to see how much the neighbourhood has changed. What was once an ageing state housing area is becoming a greener, more connected community with a wider range of homes for people at different stages of life.
So far, 892 new homes have been completed, including all 480 planned social homes. That's 180 more social homes than were originally on the site. Around 300 more homes are currently under construction, with more than 1,200 market and affordable homes expected to be delivered over time.
The investment extends well beyond housing. Nearly 28,000 plants and 440 new trees have been added across the neighbourhood, creating greener streets, more shade and better spaces for people to enjoy. New and upgraded parks, including Te Ara Awataha Greenway, the Te Kāwai/Cadness Loop Reserve upgrade and Kukari pocket park, are already open for the community.
The infrastructure that supports this growth is now complete. Around 2km of roads and footpaths have been built or upgraded, supported by 12km of new water, wastewater and stormwater pipes, along with 12km of underground power and communications cabling. 71 new streetlights now help light the neighbourhood, and 317 older homes have been removed to make way for new housing.
