Housing in Hackettstown
Hackettstown's housing divides between the Victorian and early-1900s homes of the downtown blocks, with steep roofs, dormers and tall brick chimneys, and the 1960s through 1990s colonials, split-levels and ranches of the surrounding developments. Main Street carries brick commercial buildings with flat roofs. Asphalt shingle dominates the houses, and prefab metal fireplaces are common in the later developments.
Weather and exposure
The Musconetcong valley holds cold air and moisture, and winters bring sustained snow cover and freeze-thaw cycling. Downtown roofs are somewhat sheltered, while development homes on the slopes above face wind and ice. Mature trees shade older streets and drop limbs in summer thunderstorms, and flat commercial roofs must handle snow load and rapid meltwater.
