Your Remuera lawyer

One of Auckland’s older, more genteel suburbs, Remuera, with a shopping village at its heart, is a beautiful, affluent neighbourhood that is characterised by tree-lined streets of up-market dwellings. Situated just 4km from the centre of Auckland, Remuera is a much-sought after suburb for families, professional singles and businesspeople alike.

A place to call home

Remuera has been a popular place to call home from as far back as the 13th century, when Maori then already found it to be a preferred location for habitation. Much later, in the 1850s, European settlers managed to persuade Maori to sell them their first parcel of this prime real estate on the Auckland isthmus.

As Auckland developed, progress also reached Remuera, with the first shops opening in 1890. Later, the railway brought further development. Finally, in 1915, the previously self-managing Remuera was amalgamated into Auckland City as “the brightest jewel in her crown”.

Unique and sought-after neighbouhood

Anyone with children knows that living in Remuera offers access to great schools – some of the best schools in the country in fact; top private schools, high-decile primary and intermediate schools, and the ever-popular schools of Auckland’s famed “Grammar Zone”.

In addition to good schools, the suburb’s handy location on the fringe of the Auckland CBD means that getting to and from the city is a convenient commute for office workers, with regular bus and train services, and easy access to the motorway.

The commercial strip of the main village and various other pockets of commerce dotted around the suburb feature every possible convenience for the modern city dweller, from art galleries, banks, bars, boutiques and cafes, to gift shops, a library, travel agents, and a variety of restaurants offering everything from ethnic fare to delectable dining experiences.

Many professionals too have based themselves and their practices in Remuera, with numerous real estate agents, medical specialists and lawyers working in the suburb. For example, Remuera lawyer, Ian Mellett operates Auckland law firm Quay Law from 165 Orakei Road in Remuera.

For those who love the outdoors, Remuera also offers a boon of beautiful parks and reserves where children and adults alike can relax and unwind. The suburb is also home to numerous sporting and community clubs, from tennis, netball and rugby to bowls and badminton. And let’s not forget the Remuera Golf Club, one of New Zealand’s premier golf courses at 120 Abbotts Way.

In other words, Remuera is a good place to live!
