GET A FEEL FOR THE CITY

Life in Christchurch.

Christchurch is the South Island's largest city: flat, grid-planned and largely rebuilt since the 2011 earthquake, with a renewed central city and a big university campus in Ilam to the west. Renters gravitate to Riccarton and Ilam for the University of Canterbury and the Westfield mall, Merivale and Fendalton for leafy streets close to the centre, Addington and Sydenham for value near the CBD, and Sumner for the beach. The city is cycle-friendly and the airport is about 10 km north-west.
