N

ew confi gurations in single-family designs, such as the four-pack or quad

cluster, are gaining acceptance with municipalities and buyers alike. Properly

designed, they allow for plenty of green space (both private and public),

front and back/side porches, two-car garages, and private driveways. Many munici-

palities are actually encouraging these confi gurations and supplying graphic ex-

amples and codes supporting their use. Meanwhile, buyers see the ability to purchase

a detached home in a location that may otherwise be out of reach, while providing a

coveted cul-de-sac neighborhood environment for block parties and kids’ play.

Model A is an attainable 2,324-square-foot home with public space on the fi rst

fl oor and private space with all bedrooms upstairs. While the homes can be any

style, simple traditional still has broad appeal among buyers. Don’t shy away from

opportunities with different confi gurations.
