treeseed commented on the word tract housing
I remember, as a young child, touring a model home that was a design that was to be a part of a tract housing development. It was so plain and impersonal. I hated it. I'm glad my parents decided against buying one. See Skipvia's Free Association List
Tract housing (also known as Cookie-Cutter Houses) is a style of housing development in which multiple identical, or nearly-identical, homes are built to create a community. Tract housing may encompass dozens of square miles of areas. Tract housing developments are typically found in American suburbs.
