That's how a lot of neighborhoods are now even with full sized houses. That and narrow streets and postage stamp sized yards. And no trees except new baby ones. I just don't get the allure of a new home these days.Not even room to park a car on the street between driveways. This is going to look like total garbage once you fill the neighborhood with cars and people’s junk.
Looks like the company temporary housing they built in the early 1900s.
I know - Went to a bbq at a friends new $750k house - nice place but I thought 3 of 4 neighbors had a better back yard …That's how a lot of neighborhoods are now even with full sized houses.

@Dave HessThe use of a ladder to get to the 2nd floor is sketchy.
These are basically the width of a rowhouse or townhouse, except detached.
My Grandparents had one of these homes built when my grandfather returned from the war .I can remember when most houses weren't very big, only had 1 bathroom and no garage..
you go back to that period right after WW2 and there were tons of tract homes built, many of them were pretty small..
my grandma's house was like 800 square feet, and it was a 1 and a 1/2 story house and it had a basement. You didn't need a remote for the TV, the rooms were so small you could lean forward and reach the TV set.
this is my grandmothers house in Plymouth Mi. believe it or not the one to the left used to be half the size of my grandma's, it was a Seara Roebuck catalog house. but over the years somebody made it bigger. https://www.google.com/maps/@42.378...RLz6kP3Wkb8tMtYw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu
The houses the op linked look like a cash grab to me. A more profitable business venture and nothing more. More of an eyesore than anything.What a truly boring dystopia we live in
That Henley model isn’t terrible, it just seems to lack even a driveway.Here is more information. 2 models available one with second floor Br
They can’t build them as fast as they are selling. Hey, you can live in a co-op or condo with other families or have a place of your own. Unless the investors buy them up and start renting them out like in the OP.

Yes, my thoughts tooThat Henley model isn’t terrible, it just seems to lack even a driveway.
If the upstairs is accessible reasonably (no ladders), I could see this sort of home being useful to single folks both starting out and in the active 55+ type segment.
Getting the replacement water heater up that ladder ought to be real fun.
I guess they still exist in some areas. As much as we talk on a national forum, supply, demand and the local market is key..I would like to see developers build smaller 3 bedroom ranch homes like they use to.
Getting the old, sediment filled one down in 10-15 years would be an even bigger pain! Just leave the old one up there and throw a blanket over it, I guess.
