The first Housing commission homes were built in 1966 . The area is mostly privately built homes plus House and Land packages, Medium Density e.g Town Houses Units and Villers. Old Mt Druitt and parts of Rooty Hill has lovely ¼ acre blocks with a mixture of fibro and large modern brick homes. Most of the housing is post war.
