What's the noise disturbance like? Do you notice it?
Was your house cheaper than others in the area?
Is the easy access to transport the reason you bought there?

Noise is a daily occurrence that we all endure to a certain degree from noisy kettles, screaming children, loud TVs and the deafening thud of a bass. There’s sometimes little peace in ones day. Ongoing excessive noise is not only aggravating it can actually be harmful to your ears and has a significant impact on the way our spaces work in the home.
When it comes to residential design, the acoustics, (the way in which the structural characteristics of a space relate to how well sound can be heard) although a key design feature, are rarely considered during the building process and sometimes only tackled during a renovation.
Soundwaves seep through doors, windows, ceilings and cracks, so how do you reduce unwanted sound from affecting your day to day activities?
Hard flat surfaces tend to bounce sound waves around, sometimes creating a lasting echo effect if the surfaces are parallel walls. The softer and less uniform the surface, the less opportunity sound has to bounce off. Textiles, including drapery and upholstered furniture and furnishings not only deliver a design aesthetic they also play a significant role in the absorption of sound.
However not all textiles have equal sound absorption qualities however. The level of sound absorption is dependent upon a textile’s weight, composition, and/or construction. Generally (due to the large vertical mass) drapery provides the main textile source of sound absorption however, there are several other ways to achieve this.

So, I spent a weekend hitting the open homes and seeing what it's like to try to buy as a solo person. Folks, it's tough out there... As an older, single person, it's really tough. Take a look at how I found "the churn" and let me know how it compares to your experience.

Capital Kiwi’s mission to restore a wild kiwi population to the west coast of Wellington is bang on schedule, with all 4400 traps now on the ground, and the kiwi release on track for the end of 2021.
The restoration of native bush in Makara, as well as predator control efforts, have found a common goal in the return of the big brown kiwi, rōwī.
Before humans settled New Zealand, rōwī lived throughout the northern South Island and into the southern North Island, as far north as Hawke’s Bay.

Wellingtonians will soon have water meters, if Mayor Andy Foster has how way.

As part of a sweeping series of reforms, a Mayoral taskforce report found Wellington City Council should transfer ownership of its $3.86 billion worth of pipes to Wellington Water, which would independently charge residents for water.
Removing pipes from the council’s books would mean rates could be slashed by as much as a third, though whether that would mean savings for ratepayers would depend on the level of metering charges.
Transformational change was needed in all parts of water management in order to future-proof the city, Foster said. “Tinkering around the edges is not going to do it.”
