  • Today I am keeping it local. This is the neighborhood I live in. I will take you for a walk through 3 suburbs all within the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, Hibiscus Coast district. This area is about 40 minutes from Auckland City and is surrounded by many beaches, one we see in the video, Arkles Beach. Enjoy the video. I really do enjoy making them. Thanks.

      @SageMaujean - "I love how NZ homes are all different...."
      Usually, but unfortunately not always. There are some suburbs where the houses are almost identical in many streets.
      NZ had a "state house" building program back in the 1930s-40s (I think) and that resulted in a number of suburbs which have almost identical houses - mostly pretty run-down and badly-maintained now. Wainuiomata, the Hutt Valley and Porirua (all of them not far from Wellington) are examples. So are the South Auckland suburbs - Mangere, Otara, Papakura.

      Arkles Bay is on the Southern side of the Whangaparoa Peninsula about 25km North of the Harbour Bridge and would be classified as a "Feeder Suburb", ie: not directly part of the city, but close enough to act as a suburb. It is also one of the wealthier areas to live in, as is most of the Peninsula. (Sea views and quiet = expensive to buyh)

      This walk is pretty and generally picturesque but is far from typical of the suburbs found throughout modern NZ towns and cities. Try Mangere (Auckland) or Sydenham (Christchurch) or Flagstaff (Hamilton) or Otorohanga, which, all for different reasons may as well be on another planet from this clip.

      Fair comment. For example, I did a video about New Zealands most expensive street ruclips.net/video/nXOBLO462-U/видео.html or at least it was at the time of filming. For most people, that is not typical living.Then you take this video, which I would call middle class, and then, as you mentioned, south Auckland, etc. My point was that we all have our own definition of typical.
