Here are some good reasons why you should live in this great community.
In Whitby, over 10,000 residents live in 3,000 homes that have been built since 1970. Whitby is beautifully designed ‘master-planned' village, with wonderful recreation, good shopping, churches, library, primary and secondary schools plus many other amenities that make a great community. Located 20 kms from central Wellington, 15 kms to both the Hutt Valley and Kapiti Coast and 8 kms to Porirua City, Whitby can claim it is the ‘natural centre' of the region. Whitby's population has a high socio-economic profile. Market research has found that 43% of householders described their occupation as Professional/Managerial compared to 32% in the Greater Wellington Area and 23% of the general population of New Zealand. Whitby residents also have a high level of education, 25% having university degrees or equivalent compared to 13% of the NZ adult population. The community is well established and loyal, reflected in a statistic that 35% of Whitby families have built/owned two or more homes in the village's short history. Why own a brand new home rather than buying a second hand one? Because a brand new home benefits from modern design features that maximize sun and views, plus your builder will use the latest technology in building systems. You will also enjoy the new technologies of efficient water and home heating systems, and the pleasure of using the latest in kitchen, bathroom and laundry appliances, brand new carpets and soft furnishings, etc. It's worth the extra investment, similar to the benefits you gain when you buy a new car.
