Wainuiomata's booming housing market
A third of all the houses for sale in Lower Hutt are in a suburb – Wainuiomata – that’s shaken off a dodgy reputation during the housing crisis.
TradeMe has just 213 properties listed for sale in the whole of Lower Hutt – a city with a population of over 100,000. Seventy are in Wainuiomata, which contains only 16.4 per cent of Lower Hutt’s housing stock.
Wainuiomata is in the midst of a purple patch with new investment flooding in after years of stagnation. The Hutt City Council recently announced an $8.5 million upgrade of the Queen St shopping area, which follows the building of a new supermarket and shopping area, and a $50m retirement village.
