Description
Welcome to apartment 702 in the prestigious Kingsview Apartments, a residence that redefines apartment living with an incredible 404 square metres of space. From the moment you arrive, the scale is undeniable. Expansive living and dining areas open out to sweeping harbour views, while the full renovation has brought a contemporary elegance that feels both luxurious and welcoming. Light floods the interiors, wrapping around every corner of this extraordinary home in the sky. The master suite is a retreat in itself, with a sitting room, dressing room and ensuite where you can soak in the bath while gazing across the harbour and city lights. With five bedrooms and three bathrooms, the layout offers space for family and guests while still providing intimate private areas to unwind. Practical touches elevate the comfort, from underfloor heating beneath every tiled surface to four secure carparks and a large over size storage which is on its own separate title and can be purchased separately if the new owner would like to take advantage of this premium secure space. The complex also offers a gym and sauna, and with Tauranga’s CBD just a short stroll away, the lifestyle here is simply unmatched. Apartment 702 is not just spacious, it is spectacular - a rare blend of scale, style and sophistication, perched high above the harbour. And with Tauranga City Council investing over $300 million into revitalising the CBD through projects like the Te Manawataki o Te Papa civic precinct, a new library, community hub, and the city’s first museum, the future right on your doorstep is just as exciting as the apartment itself.

Next steps for moving to New Zealand
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
