The metropolitan urban limits of Auckland in 2009

This is a list of suburbs in the Auckland metropolitan area, New Zealand, surrounding the Auckland City Centre. They are broadly grouped into their local board areas, and only include suburbs within the metropolitan urban limits of the Auckland urban area.

Suburbs began to develop in Auckland in the late 19th century, with the growth of tram, train and ferry services. By 1945, the towns of Onehunga, Ōtāhuhu, Avondale and New Lynn had merged into the wider Auckland urban area. [1]

The 1960s and 1970s saw rapid development of suburbs on the North Shore, and by the 1980s Howick, Manurewa and Papakura had become part of the Auckland urban area. [1] Current predictions of urban growth show new suburbs developing in northwestern Auckland near Whenuapai, and a continuous urban expansion between Papakura and Pukekohe. [1]
