Housing & Dwellings in Brighton
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Almost 89% of homes in Brighton are separate houses, making it a place dominated by detached living. Housing is generally more affordable than the national average, though a high number of renters and larger-than-usual households shape the local market.
