Auckland Living

Kotare Residences (2 Heyford Close, Māngere, Auckland) is presented as a newly constructed, three‑storey development of 12 two‑bedroom rental apartments, with availability targeted between early February and late February 2026. The listing positions the project close to local amenities, public transport, schools and motorway access and states the complex is zoned for Sir Douglas Bader Intermediate School, Māngere College and Aorere College. Unit specification and on‑site amenities are described in detail. Each apartment is listed at approximately 72 m² internal with an additional 9 m² private balcony, finished to a high specification: large bedrooms with built‑in wardrobe space; contemporary kitchens with quality fittings and a designated dining area; separate laundry with sink, shelving and storage; Methven plumbing fixtures; full appliance suites and blinds; and fibre‑optic internet. Interiors are said to feature 2.7 m high ceilings and oversized 2.4 m joinery to maximise natural light. Bathrooms are fully tiled, curtain furnishings are included, and ground‑floor apartments (four units) each have private outdoor areas. Site design and security elements are highlighted: landscaped grounds with specimen trees and screen planting, low metal fencing, separate pedestrian access, keypad entry, and security cameras covering common areas and stair lobbies. On‑site parking and dedicated car parks are available; pricing may vary based on floorplan, floor level and inclusion of a car park. Pricing and tenancy terms quoted on the page indicate weekly rents between NZD 590–650 during early‑bird pricing, with variations dependent on unit specifics. Move‑in costs are stated as a bond equal to four weeks’ rent plus one week’s rent in advance; the bond will be held by Tenancy Services. The minimum fixed tenancy term is listed as 12 months, with the option to take longer terms. The developer/agent suggests prospective tenants can begin application and vetting early to avoid delays and that there will be early‑bird deals. Open homes/tours are scheduled to be organised when safe (noted as January 2026 on the listing), and the site provides a contact/registration form for interest and viewing requests. The development also features on‑site artwork described as murals inspired by local artists, celebrating Mangere Mountain and native flora and fauna. The listing is presented by Auckland Living, a real estate company, and includes a testimonial and contact details for enquiries and registration of interest.
