suburban housing
Cul-de-sac developments
Suburban housing refers to residential developments in areas surrounding a city, typically characterized by single-family homes, larger lots, and lower density than urban neighborhoods.
The term often evokes tract housing, cul-de-sacs, and car-dependent layouts: They moved to suburban housing for the schools and yard space.
Suburban housing expanded dramatically in post-World War II America and remains the dominant residential pattern in many metropolitan areas.
