Traditional Neighborhood Design House Plans
One of the most promising trends in neighborhood development is the concept of traditional neighborhood design. The concept emphasizes the development of communities with people-friendly features, rather than the old model of housing tracts designed to accommodate automobiles. These developments often contain narrow streets placed in a grid pattern, sidewalks, houses with porches, detached or alley-access garages, integrated community centers, and nearby shopping districts. Such pedestrian-friendly features are designed to encourage people to walk to their destination and, in doing so, connect with others in the neighborhood. These homes designed by Alan Mascord Design Associates, Inc. were designed with such neighborhoods in mind. The houses are traditional in style, and many contain front porches and garages located at the rear of the home.
