It lies 1.2 km south-south-west of Remuera (from Remuera: bearing 197°T), and is situated 5.4 km south-south-east of Auckland. Though some four kilometres from the open sea, a palpable sense of proximity to the coast imbues the air, a subtle salinity carried on the breeze that whispers through the foliage. The physical character of Greenlane is one of comfortable domesticity, where residential avenues meet accessible public spaces, hinting at a harmonious coexistence between dwelling and the natural world. The light here, particularly as the day begins to wane, often takes on a soft, golden hue, gilding the roofs and the uppermost branches of the trees in a fleeting, ethereal glow.

Historically, Greenlane has been shaped by a steady evolution, its economy rooted in the enduring appeal of its residential character and its strategic position within the broader Auckland Region. While not directly on the coast, its connection to the nearby Panmure Basin and the Tamaki River has influenced its development, offering opportunities for recreation and transport that have subtly shaped its pace of life. The presence of Cornwall Park, a treasured landmark just a kilometre away, underscores a long-standing appreciation for green spaces that are integral to the local identity. This neighbourhood, while lacking the dramatic pronouncements of volcanic landscapes or alpine grandeur, possesses a quiet dignity, a testament to decades of growth and a commitment to maintaining a pleasant and accessible environment for its inhabitants.

About This Greenlane Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Greenlane, Auckland, New Zealand at coordinates -36.89055, 174.79426. Use the Map and Satellite buttons to switch views, the plus and minus buttons to zoom, and Fullscreen to fill the screen.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map with four things the embedded map cannot do. It searches OpenStreetMap for any New Zealand town, suburb or landmark by name. It offers LINZ topographic maps as a base layer — the official Topo250 and Topo50 sheets, switching scale automatically as you zoom, and the standard reference for tramping, hunting and back-country travel. It offers LINZ aerial imagery down to 5cm resolution in urban areas. And it can take a single GPS fix from your device and report your position as both an NZTM2000 grid reference and plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what New Zealand search and rescue services work from. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map itself cannot load.
