It might sound like hopeless nostalgia, but you’ll find a place where this is possible, only twenty minutes from the CBD of our biggest city. Hobsonville Point is blessed with a close-knit community, a generous patchwork of shared natural spaces, safe streets - and kids roaming free.

Where everybody knows your name (and your kids)
Ninety-five percent of residents at Hobsonville Point report having frequent positive contact with their neighbours, a reflection of the way the suburb has been designed and built to promote community interaction. That means it's easy to make friends locally - which is important because we know from research we're happier and safer that way.

67% of children at Hobsonville Point walk or bike to school
That’s double the national average. This is no accident, as Hobsonville Point has been carefully designed to prioritise pedestrians and cyclists. There are shared streets, dedicated cycle ways, and a 5km coastal walkway loop that allows locals to walk or bike ‘off road’ between homes and schools, parks, shops, restaurants and the ferry landing. There’s even a special ‘play street’ that incorporates fun, kid-friendly features along the most popular walking route to the local primary school.
High quality local education options, from 0-18
Hobsonville Point School and Hobsonville Point Secondary School work together to create an easy transition for students moving from primary to secondary education. There’s also a new Early Learning Centre and a Bear Park daycare based in a beautifully restored historic homestead. Local schools mean that children growing up at the Point are likely to spend less time in cars (or on the school bus) and can make friends in their own community. Older ‘kids’ can catch the frequent ferry or bus services to university campuses in the CBD and Albany.
Spend more time with family - and less time mowing the lawn
Hobsonville Point’s neighbourhoods have smaller backyards than many Auckland suburbs. This is by design, to ensure it’s an easy walk to everything. ‘Hobby Pointers’ use the massive 26ha of wild open parks, award-winning playgrounds and shared community spaces, and say they enjoy having the weekends to spend with family, rather than maintaining their property.
