patio home
Small yard residence
A patio home is a single-family house in a planned community, typically single-story and attached or semi-attached to neighboring units, with a small private yard or patio instead of a full lawn.
The term appeals to buyers wanting homeownership without extensive yard maintenance: They downsized to a patio home after the kids moved out.
Common among retirees and empty nesters.
