housing tract
Residential development area
A housing tract is a large area of land subdivided and developed with multiple homes, typically built by a single developer using similar or identical designs.
The term often implies suburban neighborhoods of uniform houses constructed during the same period: They bought a starter home in a housing tract outside Phoenix.
Tract housing became widespread in postwar America as builders like Levitt mass-produced affordable single-family homes.
