House-hunting in Wellington, scored and shared
Wellington's hillside homes, harbourside apartments and character cottages each come with their own trade-offs of sun, wind and the walk down into town. A consistent score per home cuts through and ranks them on what actually matters to you.
Compare Wellington homes on what matters to you
Whether you're weighing up Te Aro, Mount Victoria, Newtown or anywhere else around Wellington, the hard part is the same: too many listings, not enough clarity. Groundwork lets you score each place against your own priorities and ranks the shortlist automatically — so the standouts rise to the top instead of getting lost in a tab graveyard.
A local angle worth scoring
