Howick - Bucklands beach is a good school zone area
Unit rentals are on your price range
Your problem is the dog... hard to find a rental that allows a dog, sorry

Remuera is one of the most expensive suburbs in the country, for what you want to pay you will be limited to 2 bedroom places that are not that nice. Some of them will be on the borders of Remera too and you'll find they may not be zoned for the best schools, especially for secondary.

Most primary schools in that area are all very good.

Another area worth considering and that will be in your budget is St Johns. Some of this area is zoned for Stonefields which is an excellent primary school

Also Cornwall Park primary and Epsom normal, but again these areas have similar prices to Remuera.

Decile ranking doesn't necessarily indicate whether it's a good school or not.

Thanks so much for your help - this is exactly the kind of inside info I'm in need of. We're actually headed to a campground in Remeura to begin with whilst we check out local areas, schools and rentals....hopefully living in a tent won't last too long!
