We’ve talked about seeing homes like this in Las Vegas. Even so, these will have more yard than homes being built there. From the Republic:
As residential land in Ahwatukee Foothills gets more scarce and expensive, one home builder has come up with a new concept for building homes: cottages.
The Cottages at Lakewood, which are expected to begin sales in the fall, will be a cluster of 15 normal-size, two-story, single-family homes packed into 2 acres at 3510 E. Lakewood Parkway West.
Legally, they will be classified as condominiums.
“It’s a different type of animal. I’m still trying to get my arms around it,” said Jason Kush, vice president of sales and project development at Scottsdale-based Montevina Estate Homes, the developer.
“We call it a cluster project. You see this all the time in Orange County.”
The cottages will have only side yards, measuring about 10 feet by 60 feet.
The homes will be 1,900-2,200 square feet each and come in three models: Santa Barbara, Spanish mission and ranch hacienda.
Prices will start in the mid-$400,000 range.
Cottages or not says:
Cottages or not. Beware of this builder. They can’t get anything done right in ahwatukee.
