In the words of Janet Marshall, Colliers - Auckland

Zoned Residential – Mixed Housing Suburban under the Auckland Unitary Plan, the property benefits from future development potential while being surrounded by established residential neighbourhoods, quality schools, local amenities and popular East Coast Bays beaches.

Adjacency to DOC or other protected areas can trigger RMA assessment matters, including effects on ecological values and public access.
Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ); site aspect is approximate, from the 1m LiDAR contours. Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.
