Housing & Dwellings in Inverness

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

A high proportion of large, detached homes has come to define Inverness, where 90% of dwellings have three or more bedrooms. This is far above the national figure and creates a landscape dominated by spacious family houses. While many homes are owned outright, those with mortgages face costs well above the state and national averages.
