Housing & Dwellings in Dartmouth
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
A massive gap in housing costs separates Dartmouth from the rest of the state, where monthly loan payments are far lower than the national figure. Most residents own their homes outright, and the landscape is dominated by large, detached houses. This creates a housing market that is much more affordable and stable than in most other Victorian areas.
