Rental wanted North Shore

Are you still looking up here? Or are you wanting the Shore for definite?

There have been a few rentals up here for around $380.. did you want me to check them out first?

Have you checked out www.realenz.co.nz

I found these ones - Glenfield  Manly not sure if they are your cup of tea or not though...

 

All I can say is good luck (and I mean that in a nice way not a nasty one). We live in Takapuna which admittedly is a more pricey area but we have a 3 bed fully fenced single level house with a garage (not internal access) and it is $450/week and I'm positive we're going to get a rent increase come May because around here this place would be about $500.

It's not a flash place either. Old Brick and Tile unit, cold as anything in winter and a bit damp, no view and a shared driveway.

So I've been looking lately to see what's about and apart from the dodgy bits of Glenfield and Northcote you won't find much under $400.

But I really do hope you find something.

ETA: Actually you might find something out Beachhaven/Birkdale way or even Birkenhead. But it depends on whether you have to commute to town or not because it's a bugger to get from there to town.

wow, Hi

We used to live in gulf harbour, not for a cheap house, but Because I had to for work, but then we moved into town, had a city apartment and all that jazz, then decided baby time, moved to birkenhead.
Are currently in birkdale, in a mews settings not a complex, but almost, its only $355 a week!! which is awesome, was great when I was working to catch the ferry and DH now rides a motorbike (his 40 th birthday present) but its not child friendly at all, but more child friendly than the last place which is how we ended up here

Bobbie - its sooo easy to get to town from here!!!

I have a real issue with paying mortgage prices for a rental, but now that Im making babies and studying again we wont buy another home for 4 or 5 years

anyway thanks for your imput - I have til july when our next child is due - so if everyone can keep an eye/ear out Id be soo grateful

Thanks

mmm, okey dokey, would you mind sending me details when you see stuff? loove the beach up there

The ferry goes to birkenhead wharf and northcote point. Straight into the city, I worked at the bottom of queen street so perfect! I have never driven to work. Prior to that I worked on quay street so got the gulf harbour ferry

Id love to move to bayswater or devonport but not til we buy i couldnt justify rent

Don't worry, there are lots of lovely people up here - including me   

There is a fairly nice one in Glenfield today on Trade Me for $400. In Tamahere Drive?? Not sure where that is though.

for sure HB, but AKL is where the money is at too. Hopefully we can leave when I have finished studying

I saw that tamahere drive one, its more birkenhead actually than glenfield, might have a look in the morning since DH is starting work late

Orewa or Red beach would be fab, thanks!!
