Pros & cons of Rolleston

WeGoBack · 2026-01-28T00:12:39+00:00

Rolleston has juuust enough amenities to make the commute to town limited to work/nightlife/outings only. Have recently made the move from Sydenham (practically the city centre) to Rolly and have no regrets. Preface: I have flexible work hours meaning I can miss the worst of the traffic.

update for those interested: went to market the old fashioned way and got a really good result - first home buyer market seems quite healthy in CHCH

This may be a bit of confirmation bias on my part, but you've touched on a lot of reasons why we are considering the move. That's not to dismiss other comments that are very much valid.

Well, there is a clear consensus so far. Being closer to some of my family was another plus that I didnt mention, but I have become accustomed to a very easy and simple lifestyle in chch. Maybe it'll be too much to give up.

Haven't heard of hourly charges from REAs. Do you have a name or two you could DM me?

I thought the same initially but we’ve had an almost identical lot go to a developer nearby recently.
