Car Hire Auckland: North Shore - Mini guide to Auckland: North Shore

North Shore, commonly called North Shore City or The Shore, is located in the Auckland region of New Zealand. The city has a population of over 215,000 people. This high number of inhabitants makes this city the fourth most populous in the country. It is also the fourth largest city by land measurement, having an area of almost 130 square kilometers. Almost all of North Shore City is urban or suburban, which makes this area very densely populated. This city is divided into three different wards, including Harbour, Northern and Central.

This city has recently upgraded and improved public transportation. The city can become congested with cars, making travel difficult. It is recommended that visitors and residents of North Shore make use of public transportation whenever possible. These efforts have made an improvement, but further facilities will be needed because of the growing population in the city.

The economy of Auckland is steadily growing. There are currently over 22,000 businesses in the city, providing thousands of jobs to the residents. The number of businesses continue to grow, making North Shore economically stable. As industry grows, so does the population. Residential development is ongoing. The East Coast Bays is one of the most expensive areas to live in New Zealand. Property in this area often sells for several million dollars. The reason for this is mainly location. The East Coast Bays are home to some of the finest beaches in the country, as well as some of the best schools.

North Shore is diverse; however, the population is mainly European. In recent years, there have been an increasing number of immigrants residing in North Shore from South Africa. Even with this increase, the residents of ethnic groups, aside from European, Asian and Pacific Islanders, are relatively low.
