Dow Square – Named as an alternative to the spelling of the small fishing vessel, a dhow, and because the road is set out roughly in a square. Developed at 101 Awatea Road by Awatea Property Developments who wanted a small easily pronounced road name. Named in 2014.

The houses looked so small but they are probably bigger than they look as they are narrow but long.
