A closer look at Avonside

Avonside is one of Christchurch's oldest eastern suburbs, its handsome villas lining the Avon River. The post-quake red zone has become a sweeping riverside park, giving the area a quiet, green character that's hard to find this close to town. It's a heritage pocket where the river takes centre stage, with tree-lined streets, classic villas and a calm, established feel right on the city's doorstep.
