Aranui is one of the eastern suburbs of Christchurch. It is a low socio-economic area.[3][4] In its early years, Aranui grew along Pages Road, the suburb's main road. Aranui soon became a working-class suburb. There are also areas of light-industrial premises in Aranui.
The suburb grew rapidly between 1945 and 1951. The area is predominantly residential with pockets of light industry. A large number of state houses were built in the suburb after the World War II. There are shops and service facilities at the intersection of Breezes Road and Pages Road and a smaller retail precinct centred on Hampshire Street. It is served by the composite school Haeata Community Campus in Wainoni, which was created by a merger of four schools in 2017. Aranui is part of the Christchurch East parliamentary electorate.
