Remodeling Homes in New Brunswick
About a quarter of New Brunswick's homes were built before 1940. The Livingston Avenue Historic District, between Hale and Morris streets, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996 for its architecture from 1870 to 1929.
Most of New Brunswick is postwar housing: the typical home was built around 1968, and 62% of homes are older than 1980. Many still have their original kitchen layout and small bathrooms, and older electrical panels or pipes are worth checking before a remodel.
Only 21% of homes in New Brunswick are detached single-family houses, and 21% are lived in by their owners. In a condo or townhome, check the association's rules before planning exterior or structural work. For homes built before 1978, federal EPA rules require lead-safe work practices when a renovation disturbs painted surfaces, so ask any contractor how they handle it.
