Welcome to Harcourts The Difference! At Harcourts Helensville, we are committed to providing you with a full range of real estate services, no matter where you may be in your real estate journey. Helensville is 40km northwest of Auckland at the lower extremity of the Kaipara Harbour. Early settlers arriving from Nova Scotia included pioneer timber miller, John McLeod and Helen, his wife. They built a kauri home in 1862. Dubbed Helen's Villa, the township quickly adopted the name as their own. Helensville is rich in pioneering history. The old town is comprised of historic villas and commercial buildings. The river is a popular water-sports training waterway. Good local primary, and secondary schools, and multiple sportsgrounds, a library, and important amenities make life here comfortably pleasant. Harcourts Helensville knows the district inside-out. We are enthusiastic about the character and new homes we offer at fair prices on fantastic sites in excellent locations.
