What Is Your Goodwood Heights Home Worth?
Goodwood Heights sits on elevated ground east of Manurewa, next to Totara Park and the Auckland Botanic Gardens. It was developed mainly from the 1980s onward and, like The Gardens nearby, its newer stock and elevation put it above the surrounding Manurewa suburbs on price.

What has changed in Goodwood Heights
Goodwood Heights has seen less wholesale redevelopment than the suburbs closer to the motorway, with change coming mainly through renovation and occasional infill. The continuing growth of Flat Bush and Ormiston to the north-east has improved shopping options within a short drive.
Shops, parks and facilities
Totara Park adjoins the suburb, with its outdoor pool, bush walks and horse trails — one of the larger recreation reserves in South Auckland. Goodwood Heights School serves the local area. The Gardens Shopping Centre and the Auckland Botanic Gardens are a short drive south, and Southmall Manurewa is close to the west.
A little history
Goodwood Heights was developed from the 1970s and 1980s on the elevated land between Manurewa and Totara Park, later than most of the surrounding suburbs, which is reflected in its housing stock and larger sites.
