R6 districts are appropriate for medium density housing. Typical R6 development, usually between three and twelve stories, is common in built-up areas of all boroughs except Staten Island. FAR in R6 districts ranges from 0.78 to 2.43. The higher ratio is applied to new buildings that provide more open space. Density* -- up to 176 units per acre—is nearly double that of R5.
