Housing & Dwellings in Notting Hill

Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.

More than half of all households in Notting Hill are renting, making it an area where renting is far more common than in most other places. This high rental rate and a large number of flats mean the local housing market feels very different from the typical Victorian suburb. The typical weekly rent is $371, which is much higher than in most similar areas.
