Housing & Dwellings in March
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Every single home in March is a separate detached house, making it a rare example of a purely detached housing area. This creates a landscape of large homes, with 90.5% of properties having three or more bedrooms. While home loan payments are higher than in most similar areas, the overall housing market remains far more affordable than the state average.
