The windows in Lakewood's homes
By age, 10% of Lakewood's homes went up before 1950, 30% between 1950 and 1979, 19% between 1980 and 1999 and 41% in 2000 or later.
Half of them are older than 1993, which is the age of window you're most likely measuring here.
In Toms River, 7 miles away, 54% of homes are built before 1980, 14 points more than here.

Cranks, handles and shallow frames
In the 41% of homes built in 2000 or later, windows are often set close to the room side of the wall, with crank or lever handles. Measure from the glass, or the handle if it sticks out further, to the face of the trim: that depth decides whether you mount inside, outside or on a frame.
Wide windows split into sections
32% of homes are apartments or condos, where windows are often wide. A wide opening is split into several panels joined by T-posts at the window's own mullions, so the shutter lines up with the glass behind it.
Low winter sun through south windows
In December the midday sun is only 26° above the horizon here, so it reaches deep into rooms through south-facing windows. Louvers tilted with the room-side edge up send that light toward the ceiling instead of across a screen or a sofa.
How many windows a Lakewood home has
The most common home in Lakewood is a four-bedroom (41% of homes), and the most common kind is a detached house. Nationally, the middle detached house has 10 to 15 windows.
With 41% of homes at four bedrooms or more, many orders here run past 15 windows once bedrooms, bathrooms and a patio door are counted. Large homes are more common here than in 90% of the 881 US cities we have figures for. In Toms River, 7 miles away, 30% of homes have four bedrooms or more, fewer than here.
