All About The Height—What Defines Low-rise Housing in NJ?
Multifamily housing is typically divided into three categories—low-rise, midrise, and high-rise. Low-rise housing is generally 4 stories or fewer, often without elevators, and are also known as “walk-up” or “garden level” apartment. These units promote a small, community feel, and increase in popularity in suburban areas. Compared to higher buildings, they don’t offer as much of a view, especially if there is competition for the skyline. On the other hand, many suburban neighborhoods limit development of midrise and high-rise buildings—those that reach up to 12 stories for midrise, and “to the sky” for high-rise.
