A closer look at Phillipstown

Phillipstown is one of Christchurch's oldest inner-east pockets, its grid of heritage streets sitting just south of the Avon between the CBD and Linwood. Classic villas and workers' cottages line the quiet, flat streets, and the city is a short walk or ride away. It's a pocket in transition, where the post-quake rebuild has brought new homes and infill among the older stock, and the Avon River red-zone green space is close by. Buyers who want genuine central proximity and character at a first-home price tend to land here first.
