[edit] Article believable?

This artical is not believable in anyway. there is a lot of crime taking place in havelock north. spered on by to youth in the aera even youth below the drinking age on the side of the road drinking untill all hours of the day. havelcok north also supplies alot of the greater hasting arias boy racers with affluent parents buying there childre fast sports cars. havelock is well known to look on itself as the center of wine production in the aera. but most of the wine production takes place closer to the suburb flaxmere. and in the napier aeria.

See NPOV. Just because you don't like Havelock, and think it is a certtain way doesn't make that true, SqueakBox 14:17, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wineries and house prices

The wine production occurs around Havelock, Obviously, haven't you seen the roadsigns? They all have a sign saying 'winieries' on them, they're all grown on the Heretaunga plains or on Te Mata Peak's Foothils.--Citikiwi 19:46, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Flaxmere's got the Gimblett Gravels, Ngatarawa and the Maraekakaho wineries (Alpha Domus, Sileni) all around it. Flaxmere itself would probably be good wine growing land (if it wasn't covered in houses). On anoyther note the house price claim seems inflated - $2 million US? Maybe one or two old homesteads might reach over $1 million in NZ but there's no way that anythings going for four. Lisiate 21:11, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I live in Havelock and I think you'll be quite surprised how much houses here are really worth Citikiwi 21:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

As do I, and they certainly don't reach US$2 million. NZ$2 million, perhaps, if they were on Te Mata Peak and really nice houses, but I can't find any evidence for that either. Simulato (talk) 01:25, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Subdivision value

Was unable to find any evidence for the selling price of houses in the Te Mata Peak subdivision, so I removed that statement. It's fairly irrelevant to the article, in any case. Simulato (talk) 01:25, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
