A number of Central City neighbourhoods are relatively new, others are well established with distinctive character and heritage features.
The established residential neighbourhoods in northern and western aspects of Central City have a growing residential population. The emerging neighbourhoods to the south and east offer great opportunities for further residential growth, especially now that key anchor projects Parakiore Recreation and Sport Centre and One New Zealand Stadium at Te Kaha have been completed.
It is estimated that 9200 people (Stats NZ, 2025) choose to call the Central City home.
