Housing in Mon town is a blend of modern and traditional architecture. Modern structures are typically constructed using reinforced cement concrete (RCC) with corrugated galvanized iron (CGI) tin roofs to withstand the heavy monsoon rains.
In the suburban areas and surrounding villages, one can still find traditional Konyak houses built with bamboo, wood, and thatched roofs, often decorated with animal skulls—a nod to the tribe's animist past. Real estate in the town center is highly sought after by locals moving from villages for education and employment. Housing is predominantly self-owned, with a small but growing rental market catering to transient government employees and teachers.
