Best neighborhoods in Wellington

Lillian Jones Oct 3, 2025

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Westside. It's excellent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in consulting. If you're in education you might struggle.

People: Generally better than expected. It took about 5 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: average. Tons of options if you like Indian.

Feel free to reach out with questions..
