Rodney (the local board area in which Helensville is located ) is Auckland’s northernmost local board area with high levels of employment in sectors such as construction, healthcare and accommodation & food. The area is relatively prosperous with low levels of unemployment, however local employment opportunities are less likely to be in highly skilled jobs. The residential property market in Auckland continues to go from strength to strength despite the economic impacts of COVID19 and the public health response, with median house prices rising 16% to an all time high of $950,000 by July 2020. Auckland is still in need of 300,000+ dwellings by 2050 to fulfil current and forecast demand led by population growth. Recent migration levels are now being replaced by returning Kiwis.
