Mission Bay. It's a lovely suburb, has good cafes and a nice beach - and now an average house price of $2.1million.
The central Auckland suburb has topped Barfoot and Thompson's latest property hotspots list, doubling its median price in 18 months.
The current price is now a whopping $2,158,000. During the February to July period, half of the 20 homes sold in Mission Bay by Barfoot & Thompson were over $2 million, compared to just five of 26 in the same period in 2015.
The hotspot list is based on the suburbs with the greatest percentage value growth between the first half of 2015 and the same period in 2016.

Barfoot & Thompson Managing Director Peter Thompson says this is one of the most diverse lists yet.
"Most of the suburbs, 16 of 20, are new to the top 20 with a spread of locations from Rodney to Franklin and median prices from the mid $500,000s to over $2 million.
"Buyers have been attracted to these areas by their more affordable pricing and lifestyle aspects, while still being within a commutable distance to Auckland business centres like the North Shore and Manukau."
