The School Zone That Continues to Hold Its Value - Christchurch Boys’ & Girls’ High
When it comes to buying property in Christchurch, school zoning is always a hot topic - especially zones linked to top-performing schools like Christchurch Boys’ High School and Christchurch Girls’ High School.
Why Buyers Love This Zone
Both schools are decile 10, known for strong academic results, a wide subject range, and outstanding extracurricular options - all within the public system. Many parents see buying in-zone as a long-term investment in their child’s future. You get something close to the private school experience, without the high fees.
More Than Just Academics
These schools offer more than classroom learning. Their rowing, rugby, netball, and performing arts programmes have national recognition, with both schools producing top athletes and creatives. This broad mix of sport and culture helps attract families who want a well-rounded education for their children.
A Track Record of Success
It’s no coincidence that alumni include names like Dan Carter, Richie McCaw, Sophie Pascoe and Judith Collins. These schools have a history of developing talent across sport, politics and the arts - a reflection of the strong support systems and community values behind them.
Location Adds Even More Value
Homes within zone enjoy proximity to Hagley Park, the CBD, Canterbury University, and major retail areas. These mature neighbourhoods are well connected and highly livable - perfect for families, professionals and long-term tenants alike.
A Smart Move for Investors
From a rental perspective, these areas offer reliable tenancies. Families often stay longer to secure ongoing schooling, and demand remains steady due to limited housing stock in-zone. It’s a win for capital growth and stable rental income.
