I though this would be a series but in no way do I want to spam so just let me know if I am over doing it.
What do you think of this neighbourhood? share all your thoughts, good and bad.
3-story houses on very narrow lots. Parking is all around back.
A duplex unit.
Duplexes and single-family houses mix together.
A "linear park" (for lack of a better term) about 200 feet wide runs the length
of the development. The park is bounded to the north and
south by streets, and several north-south streets cross through it.
A corner duplex units
As with all modern subdivisions, the gaps between the houses are very small.
More duplexes.
Every houses, duplex, and townhouse in the entire development is 3 (above-ground) stories tall. I'm guessing they have basements as well, for 4 stories total.
Looking down the park.
Across the park at single-family houses.
The fact that
a) the homes are very tall (3 stories plus steep roofs)
b) the homes are very close to the street
c) the gaps between the homes are very small
d) the developments "interior streets" are quite narrow;
combine to give the streets a "canyon effect". Suburbia is probably the last place
you'd expect to find street canyons.

Even the alleys give a "pseudo-canyon" effect.
Houses, duplexes, and townhouses are all mixed together. From right to left;
a duplex, a house, a house, another duplex.
The alleys are paved.
Very little wasted land.
New construction. I'm guessing a condo.
Despite the small front-yard, there are still plenty of flowers, shrubs, and small
trees.
The backs of duplex units on the left, their garages on the right.
Gasp! Every home does not look exactly like every other home.
