Hmmm I'd be moving to some where around college street area (Victoria end), there is primary schools & kindy's & daycare all close together, central to most of the high schools. Also on the bus route for Massey.]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2012 11:28:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42800&PID=5819885&title=palnerston-north#5819885 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42800&PID=5819878&title=palnerston-north#5819878 Author: tictacjunkie

Thanks for the replies, yes I have an 11y, 8y, 7y, 4y and 2y, so if we do move we'll be looking at high school, intermediate, primary, and kindy.]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:41:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42800&PID=5819878&title=palnerston-north#5819878 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42800&PID=5819856&title=palnerston-north#5819856 Author: AandCsmum

If he's working up Kelvin Grove end of town, all that area is pretty much good. Can you look on street view if you find a place to rent? That'll give you a really good judge of the area. Anywhere is pretty much 15mins in the busy time of the morning. I worked in KG & live on the other side of the city.

You have a primary kid? I think Roslyn is ok? There is Parklands which used to be good, don't really hear. Whakarongo school is good. All the areas around those school are nice. There is Cornerstone christian primary up that way too.

Daycares/homebased care, ooooddddles in PN, they're popping up all over the place.

Oh and it's still probably pretty much the same as 10 years ago lol]]> Sun, 25 Nov 2012 21:45:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42800&PID=5819856&title=palnerston-north#5819856 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42800&PID=5819828&title=palnerston-north#5819828 Author: HelloYellow

Im not too much help but Ive just moved away from palmy. Bad area is highbury. I lived in takaro and that was borderline. Kelvin grove is a nice area and so is hokuwhitu. Sorry cant help with schools.
Good luck with the move etc. ]]> Sun, 25 Nov 2012 15:59:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42800&PID=5819828&title=palnerston-north#5819828 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42800&PID=5819740&title=palnerston-north#5819740 Author: tictacjunkie

We are thinking of re-locating to Palmerston North temporarily for 3-4 years while I finally get myself tertiary educated.

What areas are good/not so good? Schools, high schools, afterschool care, kindy's, family friendly, quiet, etc?

We last lived there 10 years ago when my husband was in the army, and our only family member down there is childless so not much help.

DH's work will be in the Kelvin Grove area (he'd just be transferring within his current company) but that's not a major as he currently travels 40mins each way.
Thanks in advance, .
