Classic mid-century suburban borough: 1950s-70s ranches, raised ranches, Cape Cods, and split-levels dominate on relatively large lots (60-80 ft wide, larger than neighboring Metuchen or Carteret). Most homes have full basements with oil or gas forced-air heating. Some 1960s bi-levels in the Kennedy School area. Newer construction near Route 287 includes 2000s+ townhomes and condos. Very few pre-WWII homes. The larger lot sizes and mid-century stock give the borough a spacious, suburban feel distinct from more urban neighbors.
