“I’ve been here since 1999 and Maungaturoto has been very good to me. I’ve got a job, I’ve built a home and I’ve met some beaut people. The community spirit is alive and well and it keeps getting stronger. It’s a great place to live.”Joanne Campbell
“I moved here from West Auckland just over a year ago. I came here because the schools are very good and much smaller for my kids, who are aged eight and 11. This is a much safer community. It’s getting quite bad down in parts of Auckland with gangs and I want my kids to have a small town, rural upbringing.”

“This place is buzzing. We have a lot of people moving up from Auckland. On average I get around three people every week that come into the shop and say they are new in town. There is a lot more going on here than in many other small towns.”

“We are right up there in the current housing boom. We have a shortage of properties – last year we had 174 listings, now we have just 46. That includes sections and lifestyle blocks. You would be lucky to find a property to buy here, or even to rent.”
