Housing & Dwellings in Myalup

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

More than half of all homes in Myalup are owned outright, which is far above the figures for Western Australia and the rest of the country. This high rate of full ownership contributes to a housing market where typical mortgage payments are well below the national average. Most people here live in large, detached family homes.
