- Designing Homes that Fit the Lot
I've been observing a lot of homes recently that were not constructed to make full advantage of the lot upon which they were constructed. This hurts the resale value. These said homes are most likely in tract subdivisions. One very conspicuous example is a home built neighboring the greenbelt space on a dead-end lot. To the left of the home, and straight out the cul-de-sac as you go into the street is natural ranchland dotted with beautiful mature oak trees, native vegetation, and a wet weather creek. This is devoted area that will never be urbanized. It's pure Texas Hill Country panorama of the kind one sees in photos and that you imagine admiring from a back porch rocking chair or swing. It is way better than looking at a neighbor's property. The person who built the property really did blow it.
