Otumoetai
Otumoetai is well located (just 5 minutes drive from Tauranga City) near other very popular suburbs like Pillans Point, Cherrywood, Brookfield, and Matua. Although there are many older homes constructed in the 1960's they are generally on large size blocks and of a good solid standard.
Not all properties have views of Tauranga harbour, but those that do generally command a higher asking price. However, across the suburb prices are very inexpensive considering the location.
Tauranga real estate agents have many Otumoetai properties listed in the price range between $350,000 and $475,000, however there is some really nice real estate priced between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
Home owners have nearby shopping at Grange Road Shopping Centre, Cherrywood Shopping Centre, Brookfield Shopping Centre, and the Bureta Shopping Centre. So, they are spoilt for choice!
Other services and amenities for the residents are the Tennis Club, Matua Bowling Club, Swimming Pool, Golf Club, the local Bridge Club, Medical Centres, Churches, and the Bureta Park Hotel.
Schools in the area are Otumoetai Primary School, Otumoetai College and Otumoetai Intermediate.
