Housing & Dwellings in Limestone
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
A high rate of outright home ownership defines the housing landscape in Limestone. While typical mortgage payments are about the same as the national figure, the area is notable for having far lower rents than the rest of the country. This creates a distinct divide between those who own their homes and the few who rent.
