Real People. Real Stories.

What’s it like living in Faringdon? We decided to knock on a few doors, sit down with a cup of tea, and hear it direct from the residents themselves…

Faringdon Facts

One of the best things about being Canterbury’s most sought after residential development is the milestones we keep passing. The numbers do add up - our new community is going strong and growing daily...

Schools

Faringdon kids are in the learning zone.

Faringdon is the smart choice for growing families with education options for all ages. We have two preschools and a primary school as part of our development, and a modern secondary school just down the road.

Retailers and Eateries

Southpoint - a $5.2 million retail, office and food complex is on our doorstep.

Parks, Reserves and Recreation

Let's play!

There are numerous parks, reserves and recreation spots scattered around Faringdon and nearby, like the awesome Foster Park and world-class Selwyn aquatic centre. What's really handy is that parents know their kids at play are a quick ‘dinner’s ready!’ away.

Fibre Broadband

Every section includes access to fibre broadband services over Enable's new network.

Rolleston District

Rolleston now has a genuine connection with Christchurch

In 2020, Selwyn was the nation's fastest growing district, and was for the six years before that. Selwyn is now the second fastest growing district behind Queenstown. The Rolleston urban area had a population of 17,532 according to the 2018 New Zealand census.

New medical centres, daycare centres, cafes, shops and schools have been built recently to support Rolleston’s population spike. In 2012, there was one primary school; now there are seven schools, including a high school that opened in 2016.

Community Garden

Inspired by the spectacular growth of our residential development, we put aside a patch of land for another kind of delicious, fresh and healthy growth. Our very own community garden. An initiative that all residents can get involved with, enjoying the therapeutic joy of working the earth and sharing in its bounty.

The Southern Motorway

The Rolleston area is one of the fastest growing regions in New Zealand, so much so that the new Southern Motorway project was given the green light to prevent further congestion on roads into Christchurch from the south during peak hour travel times.
