Description: Originating in the 1920s as part of a movement to build planned urban neighborhoods, garden apartments came to dominate rental housing production in the United States. By 1983, nearly half of all rental starts consisted of these low-rise apartments in open space multifamily complexes. What types of people live in these de¬velopments, and how have they changed since the early-1970s? This book presents the findings of samples of garden apartment tenants nation¬wide and in New Jersey, comparing them with the prior baseline data.
