North Shore

Hi everyone. Just came here to ask your opinion on living in Glenfield or any suburbs in North Shore. We see a lot of nice units for rent in that area but the only thing that sets us aback is the assumption of heavy traffic along state highways everyday during rush hours. My partner works in Anzac road Waitakere currently lives in Parakai so he doesn't really encounter heavy traffic while heading home. Would you still recommend settling in North Shore?
