Are you interested in owning a property in Papakura? If yes, then this article is for you. Is your answer “no”? going through this article might just make you reconsider.
Like many parts of the country, South Auckland is developing quickly; this is when early investors make their fortune, especially in real estate. If you are considering owning a real estate property in Papakura, now seems like the best time to begin investing. But before we fill you in on why you need to invest in a property in Papakura, let us briefly look at what this town looks like in terms of its history and demographics.
The first documented settlers in Papakura arrived close to one hundred and eighty years ago by a small group of settlers looking for land to farm. The Coles Crescent is in memory of one of these settlers named George Cole. Since these settlers arrived, Papakura has undergone a period of steady development until becoming what it is now…and it is still developing. The Great South Road linking Auckland and Waikato and passing through Papakura was constructed in 1862. The first railway track linking the town north to Auckland was built in 1875. Here is one quick fact about the Papakura; in New Zealand, the first controlled powered flight took place in Papakura in a Howard Wright biplane flown by Vivian Walsh.
Papakura is thought to have gotten its name from a Māori word meaning “red earth”, about the rich fertile soil found in Papakura. Papakura is bordered by the Red Hills to the East, Drury to the South, and Takanini to the north. It is a town with over sixty-nine thousand inhabitants, according to a 2021 estimate. Papakura has a very interesting landscape, from the rolling hills to the Hunua Ranges to the green plains. Papakura is dissected by Highway 1 and the North Island Main Trunk Railway, stretching from north to south of the region. This railway and highway pass through the Papakura Local Board area. It is also worth mentioning that only two railway stations are busier than the one in Papakura on the Auckland rail network.
