housing development
New residential construction
A housing development is a planned residential area where multiple homes are built together, typically by a single developer.
The term usually suggests suburban neighborhoods with similar-style houses constructed around the same time: They moved to a new housing development outside the city.
The phrase can carry connotations of uniformity or lack of character.
