Where do i fit?

Birds of a feather flock together.

Choosing a neighbourhood that’s right for you and your family can be difficult, especially if you are an out-of-towner or new arrival from foreign climes.

Our Where Do I Fit feature lets you have a light-hearted, but insightful, peek behind Auckland's net curtains to reveal just who lives where.

Click on the character descriptions below to reveal their natural habitats, then on the suburb names to learn more about them - courtesy of Where to Live in Auckland - and to view homes for sale. For the full facts on a suburb, download the complete suburb chapters for free or buy the Where to Live in Auckland book for the whole story on all of Auckland's suburbs.

When you read anything about how to buy a house, the much quoted three golden rules are location, location, location. But some locations are right for some and wrong for others. The fact is we all want to live among like-minded people, with similar interests. 
Whether you’re an arty, intellectual type, a captain of industry or a dread-locked beach bum, we can point you in the right direction, or even shine some light on places you might want to avoid like the plague!
