Albany
Albany is a northern suburb of the North Shore only 15kms northwest of the Auckland City Centre. The Maori name for the area was Okahukura ("place of rainbows" or "place of butterflies").
Albany contains the northern campus of Massey University; it also houses one of the Auckland region's newest sports facilities, North Harbour Stadium. The area (the future 'Albany City') is fast-growing in terms of its population and the development of the built environment. A major shopping centre hub was opened in the late 1990s and has since expanded, with Westfield Albany being one of New Zealand's largest shopping centres.
Considerable housing development has also taken place, which has been facilitated by the extension of the Northern Motorway through the area. To the north-west of Albany lie Coatesville and Dairy Flat, predominantly residential/lifestyle localities favoured by people seeking a country environment while remaining within 10 minutes commute to Albany City and 30 minutes to Auckland CBD.
