Walden has a mixed housing stock: 52% detached houses, 11% attached or townhouse units and 19% in buildings of five or more units.1 The median owner-occupied home in Walden is valued at $333,500 (ACS), below the New York median of $423,800. Within Orange County the median is $387,900, so Walden sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. Winters are long: the Montgomery Orange Ap station averages 138 nights a year at or below 32°F and 54 at or below 20°F.2,3 Long winters put freeze-thaw, ice dams and snow load at the center of roofing and masonry decisions.

Summer heat is moderate: about 15 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 41 inches a year, 9 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one. Heating dominates the year: about 6,266 heating degree days against 616 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.

The coast is about 48 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 Walden sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).6 Building permits in Walden are normally issued by the village building department.7,8
