“I had no desire to turn back”

Our newest residents at The Avenue Apartments couldn’t be happier with their move to these brand-new homes in the heart of Remuera. Take Kenneth, for example. Like many retirees, he wondered whether it was the right time to make the change.

“I thought my move to Remuera Gardens might be premature,” says Kenneth. “I was still mowing lawns, trimming hedges, keeping up the house. But within days I realised I should’ve done it sooner.”

Kenneth’s doubts are common—but, like most who take the step, he quickly discovered the upside. The sooner you move in, the sooner you can enjoy new friendships, activities, and a community that makes life richer.

Kenneth was immediately impressed by the spacious, modern design of the apartments. The Avenue offers one- to three-bedroom apartments with floor areas up to 163 m², many with private balconies and elevated, 360-degree outlooks across Remuera. Residents also enjoy a remarkable array of facilities: bowling green, cinema, heated indoor pool, spa, gym, and beautifully maintained gardens.

“Within days of meeting like-minded people and joining village activities, there was no desire to turn back. Absolutely not!”

Kenneth particularly loves the quality and comfort of his new home:

“I’m so happy with my new apartment. Top-quality appliances and safety features are generously supplied. My 8 m balcony has been wonderful—it’s larger and warmer than I first thought. My car enjoys the convenience and security of the ground-floor covered car park with its nearby storage units.”

The Avenue isn’t just about independent living—it’s about community. Two elegant buildings are connected by the Pavilion, a lively hub for morning coffees, evening wines, and friendly games of bowls. Kenneth has already met new neighbours and dipped into the daily calendar: fitness classes, hobby groups, quiz nights, happy hours, cinema evenings, and special events.

The Avenue Apartments offer a modern and inviting retirement community designed to provide comfort, style and convenience.

  • Spacious living: Floor areas up to 163 m²
  • Great value: From one-bedroom + flexi to three-bedroom options
  • Lifestyle flexibility: Multiple bathrooms, home offices, internal garaging, premium amenities
  • Fully equipped: Comprehensive appliance package in every home
  • Outdoor living: Balconies/terraces with leafy, elevated outlooks

Set in one of Auckland’s most desirable suburbs, Remuera Gardens offers both tranquillity and convenience. Healthcare, shopping, dining, and parks are all close by. Meet friends at a local café or stroll the nearby reserves—you’ll enjoy a peaceful home in an established, friendly neighbourhood with everything within easy reach.

For Kenneth moving to The Avenue Apartments at Remuera Gardens has been the start of a rewarding new chapter: comfort, connection, and the confidence that there’s truly no reason to turn back.
