There are many types of housing available in Dundee ranging from bed-sit flats to larger detached homes. Your choices about the type of property available to you will depend on your circumstances, your income and your immigration status.

Nearly half of the properties in Dundee are privately owned, the rest are rented by the Dundee City Council, housing associations and private landlords.

Like most cities there are areas where demand for housing is very high and other areas where demand is lower.

Over the last 10 years a lot of work has been done to regenerate parts of the city to improve housing and the environment.
