Sydenham, Christchurch City

Sydenham is a suburb located within the Christchurch Territorial Authority. It is a thriving area that ranks as the 18th largest suburb by total housing stock.

Sydenham’s charm is rooted in its heritage, with buildings and residential homes dating back to the 1800s, though the majority of its residential properties were built in the 1970s. Approximately 97% of Sydenham’s housing stock consists of owner-occupied residential properties, while the remaining 3% are investment properties.

Sydenham is a retail and light industrial suburb, and with Christchurch’s City Centre only a short distance away, is a popular choice for those seeking balance between urban convenience and suburban charm. Key amenities and landmarks include Sydenham Park and the Columbo Shopping Centre.
