Answer 1

i know the average 3 berooom  rent for a house is from 230 to 400.

Answer 2

for house prices, a good website to look at is http://www.barfootandthompson.co.nz/

also a very useful book to have is called 'where to live in auckland'  which helped my family find the perfect area for us. you can buy it on amazon:

by the way, a good fairly central location is the eastern bays (mission bay, kohimarama, st heliers etc) - good schools, shops, beaches, transport etc and close to the city

Answer 3

They are all reasonable middle of the road suburbs.Prices on the Shore would range from 400,000 to the sky is the limit! There are cliff top and so quite a range.But plenty in the lower prices 400 - 600,000 dollars. Pakuranga probably likewise. Panmure is an area that is starting to come into its own probably quite mixed.Not so sure of prices here.I know it is considered a good location for investment.

Hope this helps.

I would also look at where you work, and the transport and ease of getting to work in the traffic - Onewa Rd is a particular nightmare, as is the Pakuranga highway.So try a run in the peak traffic both ways as that would affect my area choice quite a bit.
