There’s something for everyone in Somerfield. Spanning from the Heathcote River at the base of the Cashmere Hills to the edge of the Barrington & Beckenham shopping hubs to the north.

Somerfield is a proud community with residents of all ages and stages. While some homes date as far back as the late 1800s, many homes here were built early 19th century. Classic Californian Bungalows still line the streets today and are a popular choice for character lovers. Mid-century saw the peak residential boom in Somerfield and the suburb started to see more modern construction. As we look around today, it’s evident that newer builds are starting to take form. It’s a location where people are confident investing in impressive modern homes, along with townhouse developers seeing value in the land.

The suburb enjoys a mix of beautiful outdoor spaces, the convenience of local amenities, sought after schooling options and excellent retirement homes. It’s home to popular Cashmere High School, Pioneer Recreation Centre and local favourite Moon Under Water. Nestled in the centre of all the best that the south of Christchurch has to offer, with access to the Port Hills and an easy commute to the CBD by bike, car or bus.

Somerfield is incredibly popular and is experiencing its own property bubble. In some cases, comparable properties can outperform Cashmere as people flock to the convenience and flat land. While properties mostly range between $600K to $1M, records show sales exceeding $2M.

As a local boutique agency, we're committed to helping Somerfield properties stand out from the crowd, protect the value for owners, and provide a better real estate experience for everyone.
