Character
Strathmore Park is a practical, family-oriented suburb with a low-profile residential character. Its position on the southern peninsula gives many properties access to the coastal walking routes that run along the Miramar Peninsula’s rugged eastern edge, and the proximity to the Seatoun tunnel provides a link through to Seatoun beach.
Wellington Airport adjoins the western boundary of the suburb — aircraft noise is a feature of life in Strathmore Park, offset by the relatively affordable housing compared to adjacent Seatoun and central Miramar.
