Housing & Dwellings in Kingswood
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Almost every household in Kingswood lives in a spacious detached house, creating a residential landscape where nearly half of all homes are owned outright. This dominance of large, owner-occupied properties makes it a very different environment to the state average. The area is overwhelmingly residential, with very few renters compared to the rest of the country.
