Housing & Dwellings in Mundijong

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

Every single home in Mundijong is a separate house, making it one of the most detached-housing areas in the country. This preference for larger properties is clear, as nearly all homes have three or more bedrooms. While most residents own their own place, housing costs have climbed significantly over the last decade.
