About 25% of the city's housing units are in buildings of five or more units, versus 13% statewide. That level of multifamily construction brings private bonded work for contractors with the capacity to handle it.
13,875.0 housing units stand in Monroeville today; detached and attached single-family homes account for 73%. Every new block of homes eventually means more water, sewer, and road capacity, which public owners procure under bonded contracts.
