A Place to Belong
Situated just minutes from the thriving NorthWest and Westgate town centres, Rua Hills offers a perfectly balanced location. You'll have easy access to top-tier retail, education, transport, and employment hubs, while still enjoying a peaceful retreat from the pace of urban life.
Rua Hills sits within the broader transformation of Auckland’s northwest, benefitting from major infrastructure investment and planning. With lush green corridors, cycleways, and parks woven throughout the neighbourhood, Rua Hills will be a place where lifestyle, health and community flourish.
The development has been designed as a continuous 'ribbon' of four distinct villages, each with a village centre, walkable amenities, and access to public transport. The community is connected by a defined transportation pattern of arterial, collector, and local roads under the Auckland Unitary Plan.
Rooted in Legacy. Built for Tomorrow.
The name Rua Hills reflects a rich heritage, landscape, and vision, honouring both the legacy of Hugh Green and the area’s deep roots. “Rua,” meaning “red” in Irish Gaelic, pays tribute to the Hugh Green Group’s Irish origins and the Redhills region, while “Hills” nods to the area’s gentle landscape.
Life at Rua Hills.
Connected, Calm, & Full of Character
Designed as a forward-thinking residential community in the heart of NorthWest Auckland’s Redhills precinct, Rua Hills will integrate contemporary urban living with the beauty and calm of its natural surroundings.
From walkable neighbourhoods to thoughtfully curated green spaces, Rua Hills will offer a lifestyle that’s equal parts convenience, connection, and serenity.

It is also associated with a place of rest, an orators' bench, a place to greet people, or a site of importance and observation.
The school is expected to open in early 2027, initially accommodating around 250 students, with capacity to grow to 900 as the community expands. The project includes multiple teaching blocks, a hall, library, and administration facilities. -
