Affordable living at Carey Street

Where families can settle, grow and thrive.

Welcome to Carey Street, a brand new community that’s purpose-built to help working families with children into modern, warm, efficient and affordable homes.

Carey Street offers two-bedroom & three-bedroom duplex-style, two-storey townhouses set in family-focused Somerfield, south Christchurch.

They’re built for families, with easy-care private courtyards and a shared community common, and they’re close to parks, childcare, schools and services.

The homes are available now for low-to-median income working families with children who are supported by ŌCHT’s Secure Home leasehold and Affordable Rental (Family Homes) programmes.
