Housing in Little Falls
Little Falls has older colonials, capes and two-family homes from the early and mid-twentieth century along its established streets, along with ranches and split-levels from the postwar years. Newer townhome and condominium communities, some with flat or low-slope roof sections and shared walls, have been added over recent decades. Most older homes have brick chimneys; newer townhomes often have framed chimney chases or direct-vent systems.
Weather and exposure
The township sits along the Passaic River with low-lying sections that have a long and well-documented flooding history. Mature trees shade many older streets, dropping debris and keeping north-facing slopes damp. Nor'easters and summer thunderstorms bring wind-driven rain, and freeze-thaw cycles work on shingles, flashing and masonry each winter. Hillier streets toward the north and west see more wind.
