With a half-year to go, 2023 has already seen more new housing starts in Newton than nine of the 11 last years. Year-to-date, the city has seen permits pulled for 34 living units. That puts the city well on pace to surpass last year’s total of 37 starts. According to City Engineer Suzanne Loomis, 20 of those starts involve single-family homes. … The number of housing starts for 2023 follows up on 2022’s 37 housing starts. In 2017, the city added 116 units, driven by the construction of apartment complexes on the south side of the city.
