Set in the province called the “Bay of Plenty” (BOP), as it was aptly named by Captain Cook over 200 years ago, the city includes Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Papamoa and the surrounding rural areas.
Within Tauranga, properties have experienced capital gain that only progressive cities can offer. Stunning water views, recreational walking tracks, cycle paths and nature reserves combined with a temperate climate have increased the population from 48,000 in 1976 to 134,000 in 2016 making Tauranga one of New Zealand’s fastest growing cities. This rapid population growth has now made Tauranga New Zealands 5th largest city.
Having lived locally witnessing the city’s expansion, the sales consultants at Westbay Real Estate have attained a vast amount of real estate knowledge of established, new and emerging suburbs. Our forthright and reputable approach to both vendors and purchasers has proudly allowed us, since 1980 to offer our experience and knowledge to all that are either buying or selling a house or section in Tauranga.
