Housing & Dwellings in The Lagoon
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Almost every home in The Lagoon is a standalone house, making it one of the most detached-housing areas in the region. This sparsely populated landscape is dominated by large homes, with a high number of residents owning their properties outright. While house types have remained steady, the area now sees a mix of high mortgage costs and very low rental demand.
