I don’t think it’s townhome-ish. I think it’s more of the modern urban feel that the original 3-4 $1.xM started. They’re catering to 2 professionals with no plans for kids and don’t want to maintain a yard. I love floor plan 1. They layout the floor plan to take full advantage of the view, unlike your typical tract homes. The lack of backyard is due to how they grade the mesa, not because of the floor plan. The foot print of the house isn’t very large, but because they didn’t grade it low enough to allow a bigger pad, this is what you get. They should either have graded it lower to get bigger pads or put the street against the slope so you’ll have 1/2 amount of houses. However, it’s not my cup of tea. I want some backyard.
