Housing & Dwellings in Windsor
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
High rental demand and a lack of large family homes define the housing market in Windsor (Vic.). Most residents live in apartments or townhouses, which helps explain why the area has one of the highest rental rates in the region. Typical weekly rents and mortgage payments are both much higher than in most similar areas.
