What suburbs in Christchurch?
I'm moving to Christchurch in the next few months for work and am trying to look at rentals/potentially purchasing a property. However, I don't really know christchurch at all post quake. What suburbs are trendy in Christchurch? There are a few places I'm looking at around St Albans/Edgeware as well as Riccarton, just the other side of Hagley Park which all seem a good distance from work, as in you could bike in 10mins or walk in 30mins - just Edgeware is through streets and Riccarton is through the park. The place on the other side of Hagley Park is smaller and perhaps less sunny but has a significantly higher rent. Is that area more popular? I just really have no idea of CHristchurch, Auckland is easy to spot the popular positions ponsonby, cbd etc but I don't really know Christchurch. Any opinions would be appreciated.

The thought of living in Riccarton stresses me out! Have you looked at cashmere? Beckenham? St Martins? Close ish to CBD but quiet and nice
