We have a few communities that try to get back to that tight knit neighborhood feel with Neo Traditional homes. They look like the older homes in Polish Hill, Bloomfield areas of Pittsburgh. And Jack they look a lot like your St. Paul neighborhood. The homes are monstrous on little wee lots. Then the throw in some town homes, and some larger single family homes with “bigger” yards.

Gee! my .14 acre lot would fit right in! Jack Boardman's last blog post..Old Men & Coffee Shops—All-in-all I’d rather see flowers!

Your descriptive writing ability is really good, Bob, and it sounds like a huge community. It's also helpful that you include the absorbtion rate. .18 acres is pretty typical in my hood and our houses have been here since the early 1900s lol. So I guess newer communities really are mimicking city neighborhoods. Carole Cohen's last blog post..You Want a Home for $100,000 or Less? West Side (Part Two)

KK, This exclusive neighborhood has some “large lots” .25 acres but most are less than .18 acres.

Funny how perceptions differ. In my area small lots are all we have to offer. The issue in Colorado is water, or lack of it, so developers squish homes together. Of course if you read the trends, buyers want "walkable" neighborhoods, having large lots makes walking harder due to the greater distance.
