Russell — Kororāreka — is the historic village on the eastern side of the Bay of Islands, reached by passenger ferry from Paihia or by the Opua–Okiato car ferry. It's quieter and more residential than Paihia, with a heritage waterfront (The Strand), Pompallier Mission and Flagstaff Hill, and Long Beach a short walk over the hill. Bare sections come up occasionally around the village and more often on the Russell peninsula towards Okiato and Te Wahapu, frequently elevated with water views. Heritage and coastal overlays apply in parts of the village, and many sites outside it rely on tank water and on-site wastewater — check both. Russell School covers primary; secondary means travel to the Kawakawa or Kerikeri side. TODO(matt): add local specifics — ferry practicalities for builders, serviced vs. unserviced areas.
