Hi there;
I would suggest Titirangi as the place to be.
Would seem to meet your criteria. Not quite on the ocean although there are some nice beaches very close by. Anmd definetly artsy.
In the heart of Auckland City is Parnell - trendy - artsy and numerous beches within 10-15 minuites drive. But pricey to live in.
Hope this helps. To give you some idea of housing you might care to email me for an appropriate link.
