Grasmere is a suburb in the New Zealand city of Invercargill.
The area is low-lying and at risk from flooding and sea level rise.
In 1984, Waihopai River burst its banks, causing flooding in Grasmere and other suburbs. Homes and properties were damaged, and some people became homeless or lost their jobs. Flood banks were installed to prevent further floods.
Between 2017 and 2018, Grasmere was the only suburb in Invercargill where the median house price declined.
