Definition by:
Extents
The East Auckland area includes some suburbs of
Manukau City and
Auckland City, typified by
Howick but including
Pakuranga,
Panmure,
Glen Innes,
Half Moon Bay, and
Dannemora. Broadly speaking, East Auckland is the urban area stretching from the
Auckland City suburb of
Glen Innes moving south-east past
Panmure and
Pakuranga, southwards through to Greenmount, just north of
East Tamaki.
East Auckland also includes the more rural Manukau City townships such as
Whitford,
Beachlands,
Maraetai,
Brookby and
Clevedon.
East Auckland doesn't include the more Southern suburbs such as
Ardmore,
Flat Bush, and
Alfriston nor the Papakura area.
Some of the suburbs, such as
Dannemora, contain predominantly new
housing. The area also contains the widely-recognized shopping area and mall
Botany Town Centre.
Stereotype
The name
East Auckland has just come into frequent use. Since the area is quite new and modern it has attracted many foreign visitors to New Zealand, making it the "Asian Capital" of Auckland. As a slang term (usually offensive), many people rename some areas
Chowick and
Japuranga after the high number of East Auckland residents being of
Chinese descent although immigration has led to a vibrant and interesting community.
East Aucklanders could also be described as direct opposites to the stereotype of the
'Westie'.
