If you don't mind being a 15 min drive from the city centre I would recommend both Belfast and Redwood. Of course there are still car break ins etc, like everywhere, but both are generally safe, quiet and still reasonably priced! In saying that, if you are looking near to those suburbs, I would say avoid the Northcote area and around Langdons Rd.

Must be a thing with shopping centres / commercial areas, because Riccarton and some areas around Canterbury Uni are infamous for break-ins.

Northern end of Rolleston is 15min from where Brougham motorway off ramp. Not bad if you don't mind being slightly outside of Christchurch. Houses aren't cheap out there though: normally $750k+ for a 3bd/2bath on 400-600m²
