1193297 2011-04-10 03:28:00 Yeah, it really depends which part of Auckland you want to live in, and also if you want a 1bedroom apartment or a flat with housemates etc. inphinity (7274)
1193298 2011-04-10 03:49:00 Not an offer yet, Just an interview.

Thought that seeing as theres a possibility of me moving I should figure out costs.

Jobs in New Market.

1193299 2011-04-10 03:57:00 Where in Auckland?

I take it you are unwilling to flat?

Do you have transport?
You'll be hard pressed to find a nice place without a contract, from experience minimum will be about 4 months.
It'll cost you 4 weeks rent for bond + 1 week finders/administrative fee + 1 week rent in advance.

250 is on the lower side, but shouldn't be a problem, however if you have a car expect to pay 40-60 for parking.

1193300 2011-04-10 04:02:00 I don't have a car.

How is aucklands public transport system? because I will have to travel to work in the morning (new market) and then to AMES in the city at night and then home again(10pm ish)

The bond etc shouldn't be too hard.

it should be said that im 17, 18 in july so there is also the legalitys to deal with.

Your legal guardian will have to cosign.

Maybe WINZ or someone can help out there?

1193303 2011-04-10 05:14:00 Public transport within the CBD is pretty decent, with the Link bus covering most of the area and runs I think every 15 or 20min from about 6am to 11pmish, I think it's about $2. inphinity (7274)
1193304 2011-04-10 05:16:00 good apartments nothing above $250 per week?

I can't imagine any apartment $250 or lower .
A room perhaps, boarding .
Even grotty flats (units) are worse than that here .

Transport? It sucks . It's not so bad if you only need to travel one zone or so, and at normal business hours but travelling from say West to South sucks, it's expensive, involves more than one transport vehicle, takes forever, eve taking into account the slowness of driving .
