Auckland - Post Report Question and Answers

What are the particular advantages of living in this city?

It's a nice size city with plenty to do and good food, while you can get out into nature very easily. - Jun 2019


There are some incredible features of New Zealand. For one, it's relatively safe. Secondly, even within 20 minutes of the city, there are stunning beaches you can go to and often you'll be one of a handful of people there. The climate is excellent - temperate winters, warm summers (although humidity can be high on some days). - Feb 2015


Beautiful forest, beaches, mountains. Rainy but not too hot or cold. Fantastic parks and playgrounds. - Apr 2012


Great schools, low rate of violent crime, beautiful scenery, wildlife, no dangerous animals or deadly bugs. - Jul 2011


No special advantage as far as I can tell.it's a nice country to visit, but there are no diners and almost no hot rod culture. The weather is tolerable, but winters can be a bit too cold for this Florida native. it's an expensive country to live in. Locals tell me that's because NZ cannot import on a scale large enough to keep costs down. I've been able to save next to nothing, which is one of the reasons I'm still in NZ. - Mar 2010
