The Wellington Region offers a relaxed and varied lifestyle that supports both business and leisure. Wellington was named ‘Top Town’ of New Zealand in 2000 following a nationwide quest to identify the city where economic prosperity was combined with the highest quality of life.
Combining low cost living with high quality of life, Wellington continues to defend its ‘Top Town’ title and offers a wide selection of real estate to rent or buy, all very reasonably priced by world standards.
Wellington welcomes new residents; in fact it is our multi-cultural society that makes our region such a vibrant place. Around 25% of Wellingtonians were born outside New Zealand and 16% of the city’s population are bilingual.
Boasting a landscape environment as diverse as its population, the region claims a setting perfectly suited to its function as both a business centre and lifestyle haven. The region’s harbour, framed by hills, has been likened to that of cities such as San Francisco. However, unlike other major cities, Wellington has vast open spaces, parks and forests and almost everything you need is within walking distance.
