The housing stock

Milton's housing is young.

Single-detached houses are the majority at 56.7%, but Milton has an unusually high share of row houses, 22.8% of all homes, plus 9.4% semi-detached. Apartments are a small part of the market, with 5.5% of homes in buildings of five or more storeys and 4.8% in low-rise buildings. Ownership is high at 82.6%.
