The relaxed urban lifestyle and natural environment of the North Shore marks it as one of the fastest growing regions in New Zealand. Just north of downtown Auckland, the North Shore is a prime location for commercial and industrial development due to its educated and stable workforce. Surrounded by sea, the North Shore has an unbroken 140-kilometer urban coastline, and residents enjoy more than 10 beautiful beaches, over 400 parks, and numerous yacht clubs.

Within the Hauraki Gulf of New Zealand lies Waiheke Island. An easy commute from downtown Auckland, residents and visitors can travel to Waiheke Island by passenger and car ferry services, helicopter, or other air links. The maritime climate is perfect for this "Island of Wine", with local vineyards often winning awards for their wines. The region's finest coastal real estate can be seen in the waterfront properties and world class estates, combined with key features such as scenic beaches, Mediterranean-inspired gardens, and olive and citrus groves, making this Island a vibrant place to call home.
