housing developments
New residential construction
Housing developments are planned residential areas built as unified projects, typically featuring multiple homes constructed by a single developer.
The term often implies tract housing with similar designs: The housing development went up in six months.
It can suggest suburban uniformity, though developments range from affordable subdivisions to luxury communities.
