Housing in Linden
Linden's residential neighborhoods are mostly 1920s through 1960s capes, colonials, bungalows and two-families, with some brick apartment buildings and newer townhouse developments. Asphalt shingle roofs predominate on the homes, with flat roofs on apartment buildings, rear additions and the commercial blocks of the downtown area. The eastern industrial district holds warehouses, distribution centers and plants with very large flat roofs.
Weather and exposure
Linden is flat and open to the Arthur Kill and Raritan Bay to the east and south, so wind off the water is a significant factor, especially for the eastern neighborhoods and the industrial waterfront. Nor'easters bring sustained wind and driving rain. Industrial and highway activity deposits grime on roofs and masonry. Salt in the air near the water accelerates corrosion of exposed metal, including flashing, fasteners and caps.
