Living in Christchurch
New Zealand · temperate
Christchurch is a mid-sized city of roughly 390,000 people with both the sea and mountains close by in New Zealand. The climate is temperate. It keeps a balanced mix of locals and visitors and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $2,250. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is generally reliable. People come here for swimming, quiet days, food and eating out.
Il servizio sanitario pubblico (5/5) è più solido del privato: qui l’assicurazione è un extra, non una necessità. È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio.
