Buying into Paerata Rise means saying goodbye to the hassle and bustle and ever-growing cramp of inner-city life.
The Kiwi home ownership dream is now a whole lot more achievable, with the help of Capital Homes.

As city prices spiral beyond reach, and inner-city space becomes even more restricted, an exciting and contemporary living option beckons.

Paerata Rise - a new build lifestyle community just south of the metropolis - offers the best of rural and urban living. And it is built on firm local foundations with history at its heart. This is where Capital Homes' strength shines, with long-established suppliers and tradespeople.

The solid and secure new subdivision is being developed between Karaka and Pukekohe, on land once owned by Wesley College. The college is heavily invested in creating a community that will be loved for generations to come.

At Paerata Rise, just 40 minutes from central Auckland, some 4500 stylish homes will be built. Whether you are looking to buy your own home, expand a growing family, downsize for convenience or establish a new business, there's a custom-built option for you.

Everyone from young families to empty-nesters will be able to enjoy the benefits of leaving the city behind and embrace the space offered in this new and purpose-built subdivision. It's a fertile area that allows every community member to breathe in and enjoy the delights of living off a wider stretch of land.

Building a community is at the heart of the project. Capital Homes is Pukekohe-born and bred.

Each house is a bespoke design to suit each section, with each build completed to the highest standard. Quality internal features ensure a long life for your new home. A 10-year master builder guarantee future-proofs each and every one.

Buying into Paerata Rise means farewelling the hassle and bustle and ever-growing cramp of inner-city life and replacing it with the best of rural living, bolstered by the most modern amenities.

But you better be quick. Word is already out about the allure of Paerata. Auckland Council's just-released valuation round reveals that valuations in Paerata have increased by 151 per cent.

Average Auckland home value soars above $1 million for first time

No longer is home ownership out of reach. New beginnings are on offer at Paerata Rise. As a family-run business, with a combined 46-plus years' experience, Capital Homes will never treat you like a number, says director Grant Watson.

We’ve had hundreds of you tell us just what makes your neighbour ‘awesome’ with some amazing stories. Do you have an awesome neighbour you haven’t told us about?

It could be a neighbour who donates time to a sports team in your neighbourhood or someone who brings your bins up the driveway every week. Maybe they’re just really unique; the neighbour who drives that bright pink car or skateboards with the kids to school each day.

Tell us why your neighbour is awesome and you could win one of four $250 Prezzy® cards (plus one for your Awesome Neighbour).
