I want to give an example.

The first few photos I dont like. Looks fake and boring and bland. I dont accept that here in Conn





Now any new house that look like these, I would accept these new houses here in Conn








YES These are new... Connor Homes

Apartments and Condos seem to be doing very well despite the Housing market. Maybe the people on Wall Street should acknowledge that.....its a sign of something changing and big developments are going up again. The Large scale developments also seem to sell out within 2-4 months...

I agree with most of those styles, but this is hideous!



I'd like to also add the European cottage look:



And the "Nantucket" look:



Of course, these styles are more expensive to build and much less profitable for builders.

I agree...and it kind of makes sense. I pay 6K a year for my 4br home on Long Island. If it were a new home, the taxes would be double or triple that. It just doesn't make financial sense to build a home in many places in the NE anymore.

That supposed to be a apartment for urbanize areas.
There a lot of grass/dirt lots in some of our citys here in Conn that needs to be filled in again.

Example: Here some new one

That does not change the fact that it's ugly.

I didnt think that it would look that bad

PS I can say that the color brick is ugly... but maybe brownstone would made it better, I guess.

It looks kind of dated. Probably 50's or 60's construction.

Connecticut Hall at Yale is a nice example of classic Georgian architecture. Many examples at Harvard/Cambridge too.



There is a gorgeous new apartment complex being built in Milford on Prospect Street near downtown. That's a historic zone, so architecture is regulated. Really nice looking buildings as it starts to take shape. I also like the newer Spinnaker apartments downtown around the harbor with their Nantucket/coastal New England style. Both are good examples of new apartment construction and the advantage of having a strict aesthetic code.

What about Great Pond Village in Windsor. Hope it will look really nice. http://greatpondinwindsor.com
