What parnell like? But I agree with Gina though, the 'high street' if you can call it that is a bit too upmarket for me personally (ie posh ladies clothes shops as opposed to trendy shops like in Ponsonby). Having said that, you could do a lot lot worse than Parnell and hubbie bought my engagement ring from a lovely jewellers there that I would like to return to! :D Another thing worth bearing in mind though is that if your goal is to buy property once settled, it would make more sense to 'settle' into an area that you would like to live in, and can afford to buy in if possible. As a mother for example, I would probably want to avoid changes in pre-schools/schools and making friends twice over if possible. Just thought I'd mention it. I know it's hard to find 'the ideal' place immediately from 12k miles away, although if you plan to buy a house say within 6 months but know that due to prices Parnell is out of the question, then what would be the point in renting there? Just my two pence worth as ultimately I would imagine your goal is to feel settled as a family asap and enjoy NZ. Carmen. :) |

Best of luck! |
