The short answer
Allenwood has a median build year of 1966 across its housing. That is late enough for copper and early enough for polybutylene in places, which is why the pattern of the symptom is worth establishing before anybody is called out.

Allenwood has 251 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1966 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

Of the 449 NJ towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 53% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 445th.
What 1966 tells you about the pipe in Allenwood
Housing of this vintage generally means the changeover years. Copper is common by now but galvanized is still in the ground and in the walls, so what matters is not the build year but which sections were ever replaced. A pressure test at the outside tap tells you more than the age does. More on 1960s supply pipe.

In Allenwood, count the weak taps before you do anything else. Every one of them points at the supply; a single one points at that fixture, and the difference decides whether this costs you five minutes or a contractor. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low (here is the test). Then: whole house or one tap.
