  3. Education: Dunedin is home to the University of Otago, which is one of the largest and most respected universities in the country. This has helped to create a vibrant and youthful city, and has made Dunedin a hub of innovation, research, and creativity. For many families, the quality of education available in Dunedin is a major draw.
  4. History and heritage: Dunedin is one of the oldest cities in New Zealand, and has a rich and fascinating history. The city is home to many historic buildings, museums, and landmarks, which serve as a testament to its rich heritage. This history and heritage also creates a strong sense of community, making it a welcoming and friendly place to live.
  5. Outdoors and adventure: Dunedin is surrounded by stunning natural beauty, and is home to many outdoor activities and adventures. From walks and fishing to skiing and snowboarding, there is always something to do and explore in Dunedin.
