The narrative doesn't always match the data. 📊
Devin Kulka and Bryan Kelly tackle one of Long Island’s most common development myths: the idea that new apartment communities overload local school districts.
With declining household sizes and school enrollment dropping across the region, data from the Stony Brook Real Estate Institute shows the real picture, roughly one student added for every 10 to 11 apartments. Meanwhile, without housing options for young professionals and returning college graduates, communities risk losing the next generation entirely.
At The Kulka Group, we believe informed conversations and real data are essential to building vibrant, sustainable communities on Long Island.
