Housing & Dwellings in Stirling
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Much higher than most areas, 88.4% of homes in Stirling have three or more bedrooms. This preference for large houses is paired with a high rate of outright ownership and costs that sit above the national figures. The area is mostly made up of detached houses where residents tend to have more space than the typical Australian household.
