Is Whangarei a good place to live? Heard Northland is a bit warmer then Waikato.
Fiance applied for a job there at the hospital. Is it true people have to live in fenced areas there to keep away from Maori criminals?

Wouldnt live there if you paid me, never been there... probably never will heard enough storys to put me off
Whip it, whip it good!
In some parts
Whangarei is a bustling city with all the bells and whistles of a small city. It also has its "elements" as most places seem to these days.
No doubt there will be someone along soon with the inside running for you, but there are lots of really lovely places to live there, it is warm, there are some lovely beaches around, oh and I know a lot of really fabulous people that live there.
Will you have work too? That might make the difference on your experience.

I lived opposite Whangarei (Dargaville) when I was teaching. Visited Whangarei many times - had a brother living there for a while.
Loved Norfland and would go back in a flash given the chance. And YES! it is warmer than the Waikato (most places are...) but don't believe the bullshit about the "winterless north" 'cause it AIN'T!
IMO, every city has its "elements"...but I can't say Whangarei appeared any worse than other places I have lived...

What he said. I have lived here most of my life. We have some nice bike riding and loads of awesome beaches and enough infrastructure to get anything you need, ie bike bits and engineering etc. Good place for boating and fishing. Bad points; you have to go thru Auckland to get to the rest of NZ!

the city itself is a shithole, the surrounding areas such as ruakaka, parua bay, whangarei heads and anywhere rural are much better places.
took me 30 years to move out, ive been away over 2 years and only been back once to visit and that was too much.
there are some good roads up there though, some of the best in NZ.
move to tauranga, the weather is way better than whangarainy

Whangarei is no different to any other small city in NZ. It's further up north in the back blocks where there are some more, shall we say "colourful characters" (Maori & or Pakeha). Some poeple up there live off the land, ie: grow dope & are generally a bit anti social for the obvious reasons. I had a couple of shit scared backpackers pass through here last year that got caught up in a (what turned out to be) a minor hostage situation, could of easily gotton out of control. They could of reported it to the police but chose not to (silly sods if you ask me). Like anywhere there is an element but it is by no means a bigger issue there than it is anywhere, let common sense prevail & you'll be fine.
ps: Ignore Skidmark, most others here do.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

There are some awesome biking roads up there! Close to some beautiful places, too. We love Paihia and the Bay of Islands area.What he said. I have lived here most of my life.

Yes, some areas of the city are. shall we say, "lower socio-economic" and have their troubles, but generally the city is great with very friendly people.

Hehe okay! There is a good uni at Whangarei so I'm looking into apply there. I like it is a bitter warmer then Waikato. The Maori is everywhere here also. Before we moved to Cambridge we lived in Matamata. My neighbor had Whanau every weekend and had "decorated" their garage into a pub! We did not have quiet Saturday for 6months!
So we are very very picky about where we will live in the future now!
