Housing & Dwellings in Marsden
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
More than half of all households are now renting in Marsden, a sharp increase from 2011. This shift toward renting is mirrored by a far lower rate of outright home ownership compared to the rest of the state. While housing costs remain generally lower than national figures, the area is dominated by large family homes.
