Unique Communities, Endless Possibilities!
Palmerston North (population ~88,000) spreads across the flat Manawatū Plains and into the rolling hills to the east, with established residential suburbs like Hokowhitu (leafy and lake-adjacent), Highbury (central and walkable), Awapuni (family-focused near Massey University), Aokautere (hillside lifestyle), Cloverlea (newer west-side growth), Roslyn (established northern), Terrace End (close to the CBD) and Westend (central west). Each suburb has its own character, amenities and school catchment, with the central Square as the city’s civic hub and Massey University the major institution drawing students and staff into the housing market.
House styles range from 1920s cottages to post-war state housing to 21st-century subdivision builds. Growth in recent years has concentrated in the western and southern fringes (Cloverlea, Aokautere, Kelvin Grove) alongside infill in established central suburbs. The wider Palmerston North City Council area also includes the rural settlements of Ashhurst, Bunnythorpe and Linton on the city edges. The profiles below cover suburbs across the city.
