Housing affordability is a growing concern across New Jersey, and several towns are taking proactive steps to address it. By adopting new zoning rules aimed at increasing housing availability, these communities hope to create more opportunities for residents to find homes within their budgets.
From permitting accessory dwelling units to easing restrictions on multifamily developments, these changes could have a significant impact on the local real estate market. In this issue, we’ll explore what these new rules mean for homeowners, prospective buyers, and investors, and how they could shape the future of housing in our state.
Jersey City
Jersey City has implemented new zoning rules for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) as part of efforts to manage growth and increase housing choices. These changes, based on 17 years of community input, include adjustments to building heights in certain areas.
Newark
Newark has made recent changes to its zoning regulations, including the creation of new zones and updates to rules promoting environmental justice. These measures aim to support sustainable development and address community concerns.
