Homes in Norwood
Much of Norwood's housing was built in recent decades. ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimates put the median year built at 1986 (±6 years). About 43% of housing units were built in 1990 or later, mostly in the 1990s and 2000s. About 24% predate 1960. Only about 62% of the borough's roughly 2,000 units are single-family detached houses. There are also about 330 attached single-family units such as townhouses (±150) and about 260 units in buildings with 50 or more units (±111). About 79% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. Utility gas heats about 90% of occupied homes, electricity about 8% and fuel oil about 1% (28 homes, ±28). The 2020 Census counted 2,032 housing units. The Building Department's posted hours include a late Wednesday, open until 7:30 PM.
Flooding
FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer shows Special Flood Hazard Areas in Norwood, mostly Zone AE with some Zone A and AO. They lie along the mapped streams Tappan Run, Norwood Brook and the Dwars Kill, and near the Oradell Reservoir edge. The floodplain is limited to these stream corridors. We did not find a dedicated flood page on the borough website. To check a specific address, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
