Housing & Dwellings in Don
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Every single home in Don is a separate house, making it one of the few areas with no apartments or townhouses. This residential landscape is defined by large family homes and a high number of residents who own their houses outright. The area is far more affordable than the national average for both renters and mortgage holders.
