Residential Infill Development Increasing
Of the 51 largest metropolitan regions in the study, 36 saw an increase in the percentage of infill development compared to the previous five years, and infill made up the majority of new home construction in New York City and several California cities. Infill development takes advantage of existing infrastructure and increases a community’s tax base; most metropolitan areas, however, are still expanding outward faster than they are gaining density of housing.
