Housing & Dwellings in Stirling
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Much higher housing costs now define Stirling (SA) compared to most other areas. It is a place of expensive properties and very few renters, where nearly half of all homes are owned outright. This makes it a relatively exclusive pocket of the Adelaide Hills.
