was randomly browsing home listings in seattle and stumbled upon modern bungalow courts. what do we think?
very surprised to see this as I haven't seen these things unless it was built in like...1930. this is a very suburban neighborhood of the greater Seattle area (and VERY cheap for a new detached "sfh").
on one hand it's not the most walkable area scoring a 62/100 but it is on the street of the light rail station so it's very quick and easy access without a car north or south.
in the suburbs of light rail stops north of seattle you usually see higher density 10+ story mixed use developments with underground parking. this stop in particular is known for low daily ridership, so I figured we'd see more of this here. I guess it's nice to give more opportunities for low(er) cost ownership and ownership near light rail stops but also seems a bit of a waste in terms of potential density.
would you value a small detached house like this? or would you prefer townhouses and increase sqft per unit? (does this even count as "missing middle"?)
