A Thriving Community with a Bright Future

Franklin Times director Bo Burns had the opportunity to explore the incredible Paerata Rise subdivision with a detailed tour, and she was genuinely impressed!

From the thoughtful design and award-winning homes to the welcoming atmosphere, she found Paerata Rise a truly exceptional place to live.

What really stood out for her was the sense of community—safe streets, peaceful surroundings, lush green spaces, spacious developments, parks for all ages, and friendly neighbours. It’s a fantastic place for young families and retirees alike!

Safe, Family-Friendly Living

Safety is at the heart of Paerata Rise. Designed with families in mind, the neighbourhood features well-lit streets, pedestrian-friendly pathways, and a strong sense of security.

Modern Amenities for a Growing Community

Paerata Rise is not just about beautiful homes—it’s about creating a lifestyle. As the community grows, so do its amenities. Carefully designed parks, playgrounds, a dog park and green spaces provide ample room for relaxation and recreation. Future plans include retail spaces, a supermarket, train station and community hubs, ensuring residents have everything they need within easy reach.

The development is also well-connected to essential services, with schools, medical centres, and shopping areas just a short drive away.

Wesley College, a cornerstone of the area’s heritage, continues to play a significant role in the township’s development and future.
