Housing & Dwellings in Northwood
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Typical monthly mortgage payments of $4,200 make Northwood one of the most expensive places to live in the region. This is a high-cost area where the vast majority of residents live in large, detached houses. The high price of entry is reflected in both the steep loan repayments and the very high rental costs.
