Big moves in housing rentals as new law passed

Frankton is one of Hamilton’s oldest suburbs and features many character cottages as well as new townhouses. A variety of shops are available, including Frankton’s open-air mall and markets. Notable Hamilton businesses, such as Gallaghers and Woolrest, had their beginnings here.

Here you'll find a range of modern, high density housing and older character homes close to the CBD, Waikato Stadium, the Waikato Institute of Technology (Wintec) and Waikato Hospital. Spectacular views and homes can be found around the lake.

Miles and his partner Keri-Lee are international teachers based in China. When not teaching in various corners of the globe, they call Hamilton home and have built up a small property portfolio in the Hillcrest and Riverlea areas.
