| Apartment | $620 | 12 | 17% |

Rent tells you what a Kingsland property earns today. Zoning tells you what it could become — a second dwelling on the same section changes the income on this page entirely.
Our companion tool PropertyScope reads Auckland Council's planning data for any Kingsland address — the zone, how many dwellings are allowed, whether a 70m² granny flat qualifies, and any hazard overlays on the land. At the Kingsland median of $665 a week, a second dwelling would add roughly $34,580 a year in gross rent.
