Housing stock
Totowa's residential stock is largely mid-century single-family — ranches, splits, the occasional Cape. The driveways are reaching the point where the original concrete is cracked beyond patching, and the walkways usually need re-grading along with the replacement to fix the drainage that's been quietly running toward the foundation. We see steady chimney repointing work on the older blocks, and the occasional retaining wall behind a sloped yard. The borough's construction office on Union Boulevard turns residential permits around quickly.
