Meriden at a glance
27% of Meriden's homes were built before 1940, so a lot of the concrete work here is replacing what earlier generations poured: front stoops, walks and steps, and new footings for additions beside old foundations.
Single-family homes make up 49% of Meriden's housing; the rest is condos, two-families and apartments, which brings property managers and associations into the mix.
The median home in Meriden was built in 1960, close to the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's older than nearby Berlin, where the median is 1972.

By property
Building in Meriden
- Ledge
- Near the Hanging Hills, rock can sit close to the surface, which changes footing depths and where a patio can go.
- Right-of-way
- Most Meriden streets have public sidewalks and curbs, so aprons and walks usually need a city permit.
- Permits
- Connecticut has one statewide building code, so footings go 42 inches deep in Meriden like everywhere else. What's local is the paperwork: Meriden's building department for structures, public works or engineering for the right-of-way, and the inland wetlands commission near water.
- Utilities
- We call 811 (Call Before You Dig) at least two full business days before every excavation.
