Housing & Dwellings in McLaren Vale
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
More than eight in ten homes in McLaren Vale are separate houses, making it far more likely to find detached living here than in the typical Australian suburb. This preference for standalone houses is reflected in a high proportion of larger homes. Most residents enjoy a spacious layout with few people sharing each bedroom.
