New homes in a range of sizes were recently opened in State Ave, Oranga, for neighbours and community members to take a tour.

The sun shone as about 80 people viewed a five-bedroom and a three-bedroom house – two of 13 delivered by Kāinga Ora build partner Home in State Ave. Three-, four-, five- and six-bedroom homes complete the site set to become homes for Kāinga Ora customers.

“Very nice – well set out and constructed,” remarked one visitor before pointing out the homes “will be very comfortable for tenants”.

“Love them! Very spacious,” said another.

Oranga Development and Kāinga Ora Housing Support team members served sizzling sausies and shared coffee with visitors, answered questions about the homes and talked about what’s coming up in the development.

The 13 new homes are part of the 1,200 homes being delivered in Oranga – state homes and homes for sale, including more affordable options like KiwiBuild. They’ll be a mix of standalone houses, apartments, duplexes and terraces in a range of plans to suit families of all shapes.
