After turbulent beginnings in the 1840's with the arrival of the first European settlers - the Fencibles, Howick and the surrounding neighbourhoods of Mellons Bay, Cockle Bay and the Village itself have become some of Auckland's' more desirable residential suburbs.

Collectively known in local real estate parlance as the "the Northern Slopes" the proximity to the sea, great views, larger section sizes, desirable school zones and excellent community facilities, homes in this location invariably generate great interest and command superior prices.

Howick Village itself has managed to combine the best of the old with the new and reflects the charm and character of a well established, solid community. The busy Saturday main street market is a fine expression of the vibrant community spirit: stalls brimming with organic vegetables, artisian breads and pastas and perhaps the best smoked fish in town make this a must-do Saturday treat.

You will find some of Howick's most expensive homes on the 'Northern Slopes' - Bleakhouse Road, Pleasant Place, Marine Parade, Sandspit Road regularly record sales in the $1,500,000 to $2,500,000 plus range. Having said that, families wanting to spend in the $600,000 - $1,000,000 range will be pleasantly surprised.

This is our home and you can talk to us with confidence. We live in the area and know it well.
