Your Fringe
Neighbourhood

A neighbourhood with a progressive mindset and distinct atmosphere. Where each resident adds a little part of what makes them different to craft a culture that is uniquely Kingsland.

Kingslanders take many forms. There’s the family whose villa has seen generations, the grandkids all come over for dinner Sundays. There’s the designer in the old, whitewashed industrial space who spends more time watering plants than at the computer. There’s the craft brewer with a beard full of knowledge and the accountant-by-day, DJ-by-night rightfully named Clarke. Each of these people inject a little part of what makes them different into Kingsland to make it the place it is.

Views from
the ridge

The Electric sits on the Kingsland ridge with outlooks north, south and west. It’s a proudly unconventional neighbourhood that offers something new everyday. A short walk north leads through Nixon Park's green fields and concrete playgrounds towards Grey Lynn. Leave out the front to New North Road and you have places to drink, eat or meet morning and night. Kingsland Station lies just beyond New North Road for a direct route to the CBD (more frequent journeys post completion of the City Rail Link) and Eden Park beats its neon heart in the shadow of Maungawhau, Mt Eden.
