Hamilton Lake is a residential suburb of Hamilton, surrounding Lake Rotoroa and the Hamilton Lake Domain. Domain Drive was rebuilt in 1940[3] and most of the housing in the suburb near the lake had been built by 1943,[4] but development of the area to the south west only began in the 1970s[5] and was continuing in 1995.[6] The roads close to the lake are considered to be amongst Hamilton's premium streets.[7]
