Densities range from zero units per acre in undeveloped or preserved areas to 11.4 households per acre in neighborhoods that include Woodhaven, United Riverside, and Bentley Village. Residential density varies significantly by TAZ, with the densest neighborhoods clustered along East Lancaster Avenue and around the interstate interchange. City goals include increasing residential density to reach 40 DU/AC along identified commercial corridors and nodes, a target to support high-capacity transit that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and commute times and encourage the development of walkable urban living spaces. According to ESRI Business Analysts allocation of the US Census ACS 2021 data, the residential density is currently approximately 2.2 DU/AC in total. This indicates a significant gap between the City’s proposed goals and current residential conditions. Figure 36 shows six residential typologies that represent recent development trends in the city at a range of densities, from one DU/AC large lot single family to 60 DU/AC mid-rise apartments. The typologies encompass a range of densities and price points that are likely to be brought to market in the study area in the coming decades, contingent on both land use regulations and market dynamics. The image also contains data on average unit sizes and prices. These six residential typologies offer a snapshot of building types, unit sizes, and price points to guide discussions on density, transit, and land use. While they are representative of the housing market in the city, they do not encompass all the possibilities for future residential development in the Eastside.
