Housing & Dwellings in Cambridge
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Almost 92% of homes in Cambridge are separate houses, making it an area dominated by detached living. This high proportion of houses is consistent with a local market where large family homes are the norm and renting is much less common than across the state.
