HI sonogrl9,

Hello everyone

I looking for names of nice neighborhoods by the beach to live in Auckland

Hi

We live in St Heliers, and the bays along from us into the city (Mission Bay, Kohi etc) are all great places to live, and a max of 12km from the centre. 

Depending on where you are going to work, and also on your budget, will influence where you choose.  There are so many beaches around Auckland, that you are never far from a good one.

If you work on North Shore, then Takapuna is great.  Lots of restaurants, and it's nick named the Bondi of Auckland.  Milford is quieter, and the bays up from there are all good beaches, but further out from the city.

The above post is good and talks about all the best areas that are close to the coast and beaches. You really need to know your work location as roads in New Zealand can get quite congested at times. So consider this when thinking about where you want to live. Other than that, those locations mentioned are all lovely neighbourhoods.
