Mount Arlington housing
Mount Arlington's housing is a mix of older lake cottages and bungalows on small, steep lots near the water, mid-century homes on the hillside streets, and newer townhouse and condominium developments. Many lake homes have been expanded with additions, decks and dormers. A few commercial and marina-related buildings sit near the lake and the highway.
Weather & exposure
Homes facing Lake Hopatcong take wind off the open water, and lake moisture keeps shaded roofs damp. The borough's hillside setting means steep lots and limited access on many streets. Winters are cold and snowy at this Highlands elevation, with frequent freeze-thaw cycles.
Repair, repoint or rebuild in Mount Arlington
An inspection determines the scope. For a cottage chimney in regular use, a properly sized liner is often the most important improvement, along with crown and cap work.
Once repairs are done, a breathable masonry water repellent slows moisture absorption, which is worthwhile near the lake.
