[quote=sdrealtor]Clearly not for you but they are for some folks who dont share your need for a big lot but want a newer house. Or those that cant afford the house on the big lot. They fill a niche between an attached townhouse and more typical SFR. While not for me, I am glad that option is out there for people that it works for.[/quote]
Oh, I have no doubt that a lot of people don’t care too much about lot size. That’s why Maybeck in 4S can sell at almost comparable price to other 4S houses with a backyard. I was just saying it wasn’t for me and I would never buy such a house.

ocrenter, I also prefer these type of houses over the detached condo with front facing garage as well. However, if given a choice, I’d rather choose a smaller house with a front and back yard and a front facing garage on a similar lot size.
