Thread: Living and hunting in Hamilton.

It's foggy all the time, rainy and dreary for all of the winter months and chokingly humid in the summer. I moved to Christchurch and found that it felt considerably warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, which is wrong on both counts, but because it's drier and less humid it's way more liveable.

No close hunting. No close outdoor activities really. Closest beach is raglan which is good for surfing but worse for everything else compared to the beaches around Nelson.

There's a few decent pubs and bars but in general the town centre is dead and shit. Feels like I've travelled back in time to the early 90s when I visit.

Housing prices are getting up there. Parents sold a house for 650k about 4 years ago and it just went for $900k. If you do your research regarding town planning and possible property investment law changes etc you might be able to ride the wave of a property investment while you're there, because it's expanding and will eventually become south-south-auckland.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend.
