Connected living in Christchurch's Northwest

Nestled just off Claridges Road in Casebrook, Claridges Estate offers the perfect balance of convenience, community, and calm, where everyday amenities are on your doorstep, while open spaces and arterial routes make life effortlessly connected.

This sought-after subdivision’s latest release - stages 2, 5 and 6 - is now selling, with sections priced from $359,000 and ranging in size from 307sqm to 694sqm. Each property comes with site-specific reports and some internal boundary fencing included, providing peace of mind for those ready to design and build their dream home.

“There’s a lot of room for buyers to work with. Even the smaller sections allow enough space for a comfortable three-bedroom home with an outdoor area to enjoy,” says Bayleys salesperson Nathan Collett.

“People can purchase the land, but if they’re after a land and house package as part of the deal, we can put them in touch with the builders that have already completed some fantastic homes within stage 1 of the development.”

Just minutes from Bishopdale Village Mall, Northlands, Northlink Shopping Centre and Northwood Supa Centa, Claridges Estate puts shopping, cafés, and essential services within easy reach. Weekend recreation is equally convenient, with Tulett Park, Styx Mill Conservation Reserve, Willowbank Wildlife Reserve and Roto Kohatu Reserve all close by, offering green space and adventure for families and nature lovers alike.

With nearby schools including Cotswold School, St Joseph’s Primary, Casebrook Intermediate, St Bede’s College, Marian College, and Papanui High, the highly desirable area also makes it a practical and appealing choice for growing families.

“Having multiple school offerings at different levels makes it a great option for a range of families at different stages of life. The varied sections cater to smaller first-home buyers, right up to bigger ones, which provide the foundations for executive homes, giving the neighbourhood lots of depth and character.”

Claridges Estate also enjoys prime positioning for commuters, with the northwest fringe location providing seamless access to State Highway 1 for those heading north or south of the city. It’s an address that strikes the ideal balance between urban accessibility and suburban serenity.

“It’s around 10-minute drive from the CBD and really close to the airport, too, which is highly convenient for both local and domestic travel.”

Interest in the latest release has been strong, with 50% of sections already sold, subject to title. Titles for stages 2, 5 and 6 are due mid-2026.

“It’s been really encouraging to see how much demand there is so early in the play, but it’s no surprise given the quality of the area and sections,” says Nathan.

“We’re only expecting that demand to continue as interest rates continue to fall and buyer confidence keeps climbing.”

For those seeking a fresh start in a well-connected neighbourhood that’s growing fast in popularity, Claridges Estate represents one of Christchurch’s most appealing opportunities.
