Plantagenet · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Much lower housing costs than the national average define Plantagenet, where the typical mortgage payment is $585 less than across Australia. This affordable environment is paired with a very high rate of outright home ownership, making it a place where few people rent compared to the rest of the state.
