The city contains a very diverse range of housing stock, composed of single-family and multi-family residences built from the 18th to the 21st centuries which are characteristic of various historic and modern [[North American]] architectural styles. Historic housing types particularly common in the city's older residential neighborhoods are of the [[Queen Anne style architecture|Queen Anne]], [[Tudor Revival]], and [[Colonial Revival]] styles that were in vogue as the city experienced its first period of great growth during the [[Gilded Age]] era. Brownstones, townhomes, red brick apartment buildings, and modern mid-rise residential blocks are defining elements of the urban southwestern quarter of the city.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.newrochelleny.com/DocumentCenter/View/3084/Manual-of-Historic-Houses?bidId= |title=Manual of Historic House Styles and Materials |access-date=July 20, 2022 |archive-date=July 3, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220703022843/https://newrochelleny.com/DocumentCenter/View/3084/Manual-of-Historic-Houses?bidId= |url-status=live }}</ref> With a population approaching 80,000 residents, [[New York (state)|New York]] State law dictates that the city provide an adequate amount of [[affordable housing]] units.
