A Better Life in Timaru
Timaru is one of the country's best up and coming towns. Property investors, young families and a lot of other people who want some economic relief are starting to see the small towns of New Zealand in a different light. With the difficulty of surviving and paying your way in the bigger cities growing and one of the main centres, Christchurch, suffering from an economy crippling earthquake, small towns are becoming preferred places to move to and live in. In the South Island, Timaru is one of the strongest and fastest growing small towns. Finance is obviously important, but it isn't the only reason to move to Timaru.
For families, the schooling and community is great in the town. Timaru has more than twenty five schools that cover every schooling age group. The local schools like Glenti Primary on Heath Street on the west side of town have a strong community and family focus. Single sex and co-ed high schooling options are also available, popular choices being Timaru Boy's High, Timaru Girl's High and Mountainview High School for co-ed.
The town's population is also on the increase after the Christchurch earthquakes, adding a 'boom' effect to the town's growth. It's a great time to start up a business with minimal financial risk and a lot of potential gain. Shopping is already prominent in the town, with a number of local malls and the centre of the shopping district Stafford St on the east side of the town, so you won't be trying to start a business in a desolate area. Timaru's property prices just add to the ease of taking opportunities.
Many people spend a long time looking to craft themselves a laidback lifestyle. Cost of living, property prices and cramped spaces in the big city has made it nearly impossible to achieve such a thing. Timaru is a great place to get the best of both worlds; far away enough to not feel like a sprawling metropolis but still with all the amenities that you need. The current Timaru property market is great to buy into, and past trends have shown very stable pricing.
Timaru was one of the least affected by the property bubble bursting in 2008. Where the rest of the nation's housing market lost value, Timaru saw a decline of half and since that time has been fighting its way back toward the peak time of mid-2008. Predictions say that house sales will increase dramatically with a rush of Christchurch buyers, driving up property prices even more. Getting in quick would be your best bet.
Timaru offers a great, laidback lifestyle, opportunities for families and superior way of living to the major centres in New Zealand. If you are thinking about making a move, don't just relocate to another stressful city, choose somewhere with promise - choose Timaru.
