Mairangi Bay is a residential seaside suburb with a distinct village-like character on Auckland’s North Shore but within easy commuting distance of Auckland City. The area has a real mixture of housing from renovated 1950s houses through to modern, unique designer homes, apartments and stunning cliff-top properties with amazing water views.
The Barfoot & Thompson office is prominently located in the centre of the village. Local residents enjoy the community atmosphere and boutique shopping as well as the convenience of a Foodtown supermarket, banks, travel agents and a post office. There are also some great cafés and restaurants to suit every taste and occasion which are popular with locals and visitors.
Families living in Mairangi Bay have access to some excellent local primary and intermediate schools and Rangitoto College is the area’s most sought-after high school option. There are also good public transport links to many of Auckland’s private schools further afield.
The main draw card in Mairangi Bay is the beach for swimming, watersports or just relaxing. For younger children there is a popular playground just beside the beach. There are also a number of community sports and social clubs including tennis and bowls as well as the Mairangi Arts Centre which offers a variety of day and evening classes. Nearby Murrays Bay has a yacht club - a hub for boating enthusiasts - where some of New Zealand’s finest sailors began their careers.
With Mairangi Bay having so much to offer, there is always a demand for homes in this popular seaside locality.
