City Fringe Investments – Where Location Drives Return
Across Christchurch’s inner-east suburbs - Richmond, Linwood, Phillipstown, and Wainoni — investors are rediscovering the value of location. These areas sit just minutes from the CBD, offering affordable purchase prices, high rental demand, and consistent yields.
With new housing, improving amenities, and strong tenant appeal, city-fringe properties are outperforming expectations. For landlords, it’s about recognising that the best returns often come from suburbs that balance accessibility with community character.
"Our city-fringe suburbs offer the sweet spot - they’re affordable, desirable, and full of life. Investors who understand that are getting ahead of the curve,”
