(Source: Metro) Auckland’s oldest suburb is a mix of colonial gentlemen’s residences and internationally-inspired apartments, for which you’ll need the odd million. Parnell real estate agent Cheryl Whiting held a Brighton Road Christmas party last year. On the invitation list: the five households she’d shifted within the exclusive Parnell street over the previous five months. You heard right: in less than half a year, five lots of people went through the trauma of selling up to move a few doors down the road. One bought next door. Quite normal, says Whiting, who owns top of the range agency Premium Parnell. Once you live in Parnell (she moved from Remuera eight years ago), you don’t want to leave.
