Housing in Nutley
Nutley's housing stock is mostly 1920s to 1950s colonials, capes and Tudors on compact lots, with two-family homes and small brick apartment buildings closer to the commercial streets. Steep-slope asphalt shingle roofs dominate, often on their third or fourth covering. Brick chimneys from the original coal and oil era are nearly universal, typically a single stack serving a furnace and sometimes a fireplace. Flat roofs cover garages, additions and commercial buildings.
Weather and exposure
Nutley rises gently from the Passaic River westward, so most of town is sheltered compared with the Watchung ridge communities, but nor'easters and summer thunderstorms still bring wind-driven rain and tree debris. Low-lying areas along the Third River and the Passaic have a flooding history that affects basements and lower levels; roofs and chimneys there face the same freeze-thaw and ice-dam conditions as the rest of town.
