village houses

Small town homes

Village houses are residential dwellings in a village setting, typically smaller and more modest than urban or suburban homes.

The term often describes traditional or rural housing stock: The village houses had thatched roofs and small gardens.

In some regions, particularly Hong Kong, village houses refer to a specific legal category of low-rise buildings in indigenous villages, subject to distinct building regulations.
