Housing & Dwellings in Mansfield
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Much lower housing costs than most similar areas define Mansfield, where the typical mortgage payment is $1,500 a month. The town is dominated by detached houses and a very high rate of outright home ownership. These factors combine to create a housing market that is more affordable and stable than the state and national averages.
