Living in Whangārei District

Whangārei is a district on the rise. It is Northland's only city and largest commercial centre. Nestled between forest clad hills at the heart of the beautiful Whangārei Harbour, nowhere in the district is more than 40 kilometres away from our spectacular coastline and commuting to WDC's CBD location is a breeze.

This is an exciting time for the District, with a growing population and new developments in Whangārei City. We take our reputation as a lifestyle destination very seriously, and there's a lot to make you ‘Love it Here!'
