Hi there Rosey1950 - can't answer your question I'm afraid but just wanted to welcome you to the New Zealand forum.

I'm sure someone will be along soon with some ideas.

Enjoy B.E.

Hi, thanks for the reply. This is my first time on a forum and I haven't quite got the hang of it yet!

Hi there, have lived in New Plymouth since 2004.
Not an easy question to answer. Some areas are more upmarket than others but it does depend what you are after. The only area most will tell you to avoid is Marfell, but having said that we live pretty close to that and it's not an issue. Have you got a job because that might also help decide which side of town would be best.
Will PM you more info if you want.

Hi Andy, that would be great. How does that work?

I lived in NP for 4 years, mainly on the outskirts of the CBD and in Westown. I did flat once in Whaler's Gate for a few months, that was a nice area. I really liked it there and I try to get back there every year or so since leaving.
