tract homes
Identical suburban dwellings
Tract homes are mass-produced houses built in a development where many similar or identical structures occupy a large tract of land.
The term often carries connotations of uniformity and lack of character: mile after mile of tract homes.
The style emerged with postwar suburban expansion, when builders like Levitt standardized construction to meet housing demand.
Also called tract housing.
