Glenwood at a glance
This suburb though having very similar geographical positions as Berea and Morningside to the city is generally different in so far as the houses built in the area are more conventional and though there are some large houses the majority were developed in the 1950’s to serve the large sector of the population who were employed in the harbour and the industrial areas to the South of the City. Because of the migration of this population to the Bluff, Merebank and areas further South the area blossomed catering for the younger person employed in the CBD and those professionals and students associated with the University. In recent years the area has become trendy with an abundance of restaurants and pavement coffee shops. The higher density housing provide for community living as opposed to the lower density housing associated with the Berea and Morningside. Additional multi unit and flat development also caters for a discerning sector of the population. Most major roads are on bus routes and all facilities in the city are easily accessible. It is also the location of the popular retirement complex of Glenhaven. Close to Davenport Square Shopping Centre and Queensmead Centre as well as the many trendy restaurants and cafes.
