Best 'burb in Hamilton?

Simple - Cambridge!

Yup- Cambridge. Fantastic place to bring children up. We've been here 11 years now, kids are 13 and 16, are never far from home, everyone in town knows everyone else, theres about 2 pieces of tagging in town (probably less actually), and it takes 11 minutes to drive to Hamilton if we really need to go there (once a week if we're unlucky). We ride the bikes down to the golf course with golf bags over our shoulders - my son is a member ($5 a week for full student membership). He neded a ride home from a party that was getting a bit stupid the other night - I had the truck at work, so I rang the Cambridge taxis - they picked him up, delivered him home, and I went and paid the $14 the following day. Try doing that in Hams!

There is over 250 houses for sale in the north east corner of Hamilton at the moment - there's a reason for that!

What line of work are you in?

Rototuna/Flagstaff is the newer part of town. There is a new primary school out this way called Te Totara primary. As your kids are young it would be best to get into this school zone. A new high school is being built in a couple or so years over here and a library, swimming pool and shopping centre. As for the traffic, ride your bike, to easy.If your down this way let me know and I'll give you a tour. May take a while we have traffic lights now, oh and the V8 Supercars for another 6 years

Personally I HATE the area .. its like suburban hell to me .. I like to have distance between me and the neighbours, and room out the back for the horse to roam around in

However .. I can vouch for Te Totara.
I got an invite from the the BOT chair to spend an evening there.
Last night I spent 3 hours with Brian the Principal, Neil the BOT Chair, and a couple of people from the School trustees assoc.
Its a nice set up .. I'd send my kids their.

but vote for high schools goes to Fraser
