Housing & Dwellings in Tweed
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.

While typical rents and mortgage payments are high, a large portion of the population enjoys the security of owning their home outright. This creates a contrasting landscape of expensive living costs and high home ownership.
