Housing & Dwellings in Macleay Island
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Over half of all homes are owned outright in Macleay Island, making it far more likely for residents to own their place than in most other areas. This high level of ownership is mirrored by very low housing costs compared to the rest of the state. Most people here live in detached houses, though the number of larger family homes has dropped over the last decade.
