I thought zero lot line was literally no lot - you owned the ground under your house and that was it - like a row house that literally shares a wall or whatever.
What is this odd but neat style of subdivision house called exactly.

There's a newer neighborhood near us with very small yards and a lot of people moaned about them and said "no way I'd live there". Every single home was sold before it was finished being built though....

its called encampment living and people buy right into it.
Wow, that's an interesting area: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nZrt6iFuDuGcCMxS7
What's the reason for the "missing house" in the picture above (post #22)?
Here is a prior listing in that neighborhood.

When I was looking there was one development like this in my price-range - the difference is that the garages were separate from the house so you had a minimal back yard. When I saw that, your statement is what came to my mind...
When we get ancient and can’t drive maybe something like that but close to stores perhaps. Just a thought
ugh I hate it. My hood was established late 70's and some streets have alleys and some dont. I do not. The ones with alleys have a significantly smaller lot size.
Price
The perspective makes it difficult to discern much. What I do see is that 1 and 2 car garages exist so they're not necessarily narrow like a "shotgun house".
These tract homes just have a front facade to imitate a design style.
that might actually work for the GF and I... we're very much "Indoor Kids", and the Less yard work the better...
looking through that listing... it would def. work...except for the absolutely MENTAL price tag....but if we had the cash flow...yeah...
we'd have to invest in blackout curtains, cuz I don't like the idea of my neighbors seeing RIGHT into my house, but....
buddy of mine had a rental house in Columbus, OH, little south of Children's hospital, i swear you could almost hand things between houses from the second Floor...
at one point i thought about renting the house next door, and running a large Diameter Pipe from an upstairs window of one house to the other, and making a kind of Cat Habitrail... maybe run some Ethernet though there too, and split an internet bill... just a Crazy pipe dream...

+ 1 and count me out for that development.
Those lots are a LOT larger than where my wife grew up in Berwyn.
Exactly. Looks sort of like the neighborhood I grew up in. Harlem and Addison.
Basically correct. Minor detail is that the footprint of the house encompasses the entire lot.
Looks like a trailer park to me.
There are none for sale so I can't check the typical price. Lemme see what Zillow says.... Yeah, definitely don't trust their "estimates". It's saying from $291k up to $438k and if I'm not mistaken, the basic houses are pretty much identical. They all look to be 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom and right around 1400 sq ft. Our neighborhood is only 20-25 years old and the houses are typically 1900-2100 sq ft, 3-4 bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths, and obviously MUCH larger yards. A mostly identical house to ours is listed for $344k, but that's pretty high, IMO. A smaller house a few houses down was listed for $324k and she's already dropped it $10k and it's only been on the market ~3 weeks. There's some serious disillusion with sellers still ! A few years ago, houses were sold by word-of-mouth between realtors without even being listed, though they have to list them to make it "official" in the realtor world for credit. They weren't selling for the amount people are asking still today though.
Dunno.... Initially I would have said they just haven't built on that lot yet but it appears there's something there in the yard. Looking at Apple Maps, it appears to be a gazebo, so maybe it's a community area. If I think about it, I'll try and drive past it tomorrow.
Times 100….!
