If you have any issues with respiratory illness, Wainuiomata is a great place to go to die.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Go Upper Hutt rather than Wainuiomata.
You can still buy an okay place here in the low $200,000s, the place is very family oriented, good amenities, and the Rimutakas are on your doorstep.
And the place is full of bogans so you'll fit in well Bert.
You won't regret it.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

I'd rather live in the Wairarapa than Wainui but reality will probably dictate a stint in somewhere like Wainui before moving over the Hill. We could sustain the increase in transport costs associated with Wainui, I doubt wether my partner could continue with her work if we moved to the Wairarapa. You have to factor in an additional hour and a half into every single working day too, I like my sleep.
There's something about having only one way in or out that I don't like, same goes for Eastbourne. I like to have options. Having said all of that, I'd take Wainui, Eastbourne or Stokes Valley over any relative Porirua suburbs.

There seems to be bugger all between these two particular suburbs but a No.8 wire fence. Real Eastate agents are often unable to identify the difference when marketing houses in the better parts of Waitangirua.

Don't talk to me about real estate agents. I hope Clayton Cosgrove's proposed new legislation imposes some long-overdue modicum of accountability upon them.

I have lived in Wainui for 6 years now, being an import from Europe I say Wainui is a very nice place to live. It is struggling to get rid of its negative image (which is pretty obvious in this thread and another thread I wrote in a little while ago, people just keep hanging on to it), while it's no worse than a lot of places I've seen around Wellington. It's been said before, every town has bad areas, the northern part of Wainui is probably not a place where I would want to live.
The community spirit here is very much alive, people actually care about their town/people. You can ask Kerry from TSS.
Temperature wise, yes it may be colder in winter but in the summer it's actually warmer. I don't have statistics, but it sure as hell feels that way.
Just my $0.02

Buy when you can, where you can. Trade-up, down or sideways as the need arises or the income allows.
