When it comes to living in Wellington, the location of the CBD can dictate the cost of transportation, rent, food and much more. Wellington for a while now has been viewed as an affordable place to live, however, in recent years the cost of living has increased significantly with demand outweighing supply. Despite this, the city alone boasts endless opportunities for tourists and residents.
The general cost of living in Wellington can be broken out by rent, public transport, groceries/food and meals out. On average expect to spend anywhere from $800 - $1,100 p/w across the core expenses, this range is an approximation and may vary depending on your location in the city.
Wellington surprisingly is the first region in New Zealand to top $600 in median rent, surpassing Auckland. With this in mind and supply very much at its lowest, this can certainly change anyone's mind about living in the main city across the wider region. Add in daily expenses like groceries, utilities, and other elements like mobile phone plans, it gets a bit more daunting.
