An eclectic mix of mainly old character homes and upmarket new homes makes it an attractive area that has been home to many of Auckland's most influential families since 19th century. Remuera is well regarded as a safe white collar suburb, and is commonly sought after by families who want their children to attend a wide selection of New Zealand's most sought after public and private schools. \n\nA slow drive along expensive streets like Seaview Rd, Arney Rd and Victoria Ave gives visitors a taste of life at the top. Remuera's Library is a landmark building in the centre of a bustling strip of upmarket fashion and homewares stores, interspersed with a healthy dose of restaurants and cafes. \n\nMost of Remuera is located within the coveted Epsom Girls and Auckland Grammar School zones. Residents love the open green spaces and a large selection of parks, reserves and walking tracks.\n\nTransport Link:\nwww.maxx.co.nz\n\nInformation Supplied by:\nwww.zoodle.co.nz\n
