Southland Housing options

While housing options may be limited due to rising property prices, many people still have choices about where and how they live.

If it’s affordable for you, buying a home offers financial security and a chance to establish community roots. Alternatively, you might be drawn to the social interaction that comes with living in retirement villages, or housing designed for people over 60.

Renting through a not-for-profit or co-housing arrangements like an Abbeyfield home may suit some. For those needing safe, warm accommodation, public housing options are available, with assistance from Work and Income. If a higher level of support is needed, a care home may be necessary.

The choice of where you live is yours to make!
