Housing

Housing is affordable. The average threebedroom house on an 800 m² section sells for around $350,000, while homes with harbour or ocean views are priced $400,000 and above. Quality properties right on the beach will cost you over $1 million. The continuing migration of people to Tauranga has underpinned a robust property market and created strong rental demand. New subdivisions continue to be opened up and apartment living is increasing.
