HomE  |  FAQ  |  Tract HousinG


The materials used in the home are ordered in bulk, reducing materials costs. Components such as roof trusses are fabricated in factories and installed on site. These practices reduce the final price of the homes, and makes the developers very happy. Architect designed neighborhoods have changed the face of tract housing. While early tract houses were virtually identical, builders have managed to create an illusion of uniqueness in their neighborhoods: Two homes built next to each other might be identical in layout, but have different external facades.
Tract housing is a style of housing development in which multiple identical, or nearly-identical, homes are built. Tracts are typically found in american suburbs. As a tract housing development only makes use of a few designs, labor costs are reduced because the builders need only learn the skills of constructing a single home design, which can be applied to the other tract homes in the development.
