About 3,674 people live in Gulfview Heights, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 41, it reads as skewed a little older, and 89% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
