Local Services Mapping: Northcote
Northcote is located on Auckland’s North Shore. Rising rental and house prices have forced some low-income families to move elsewhere to find more affordable housing. In the past 10 years, Northcote has become popular with new immigrant and refuge families. Many new settlers experience social isolation, compounded by a lack of public transport in the area.
