About The Uptown House

The Uptown House publishes one issue at a time about how American homes get planned, built and lived in. Each article answers a decision a homeowner or a designer has to make on a specific date, with the measurement, the clearance or the lead time attached.

What The Uptown House covers

Coverage runs across kitchens, bathrooms, lighting, materials, storage, floor plans, renovation sequencing, furniture and exterior color. The Uptown House writes about the residential decisions that cost money to reverse: island clearances, plumbing walls, permit timing, countertop maintenance and the closet dimensions a household actually fills.

How the magazine works

The Uptown House keeps a magazine format on purpose. Articles arrive as a numbered issue instead of an endless feed, so a reader can finish the issue. Every article carries a category, a publication date and a reading time, and every claim that involves a number states the condition the number applies to.

Who writes it

Articles carry a desk byline rather than personal bylines. The Uptown House editorial desk researches, drafts and edits each piece, and the desk owns any correction. Readers who want to challenge a number can write to the desk at [email protected].

What The Uptown House does not do

The Uptown House does not sell design services, does not accept payment for coverage and does not publish sponsored articles dressed as editorial. Product names appear only when a specific product decides the outcome of a decision under discussion.
