With plenty of green space, a thriving, tight-knit community and robust, effective infrastructure, it’s easy to see why Faringdon is proving so popular with Kiwi homeowners. Here, amongst the wide tree-lined streets and open-air lifestyle, residents enjoy a work-play-live balance that’s second to none.

Resident Testimonials
Here at the Faringdon Community Garden, we believe that everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy food, regardless of their income or background. That’s why our team at the Faringdon Community Garden work year round to cultivate seasonal fruit and produce that our residents can access for their own table. They can even drop their own produce off for other residents to use, contributing to a more sustainable, connected and healthier community.

While a quick drive down the road delivers all the excitement and energy of a new Christchurch there are great options closer to home too. South Point sits in the heart of Faringdon, the dining and shopping destination offering boutique retail discoveries and delectable cuisine choices for resident and visitor alike.
Where to Shop and Eat
For the six years leading up to 2020, Selwyn was the nation’s fastest growing district in New Zealand. The Rolleston urban area had a population of 17,532 according to the 2018 New Zealand census. Since then it has only grown more.
With this growth there has been considerable investment in quality amenities and facilities, ensuring residents enjoy absolute convenience and ease of living. New medical centres, daycare centres, cafes, shops and schools have all been built recently. In 2012 there was one primary school. Now there are seven schools, including a high school that opened in 2016.
