Housing & Dwellings in Northampton
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Nearly half of all homes in Northampton are owned outright, making it a place where housing security is far more common than in most of the country. This high rate of ownership is paired with housing costs that sit well below both state and national figures.
