How much do narrow lot style houses cost per square foot (approximately)?
Narrow lot houses, also known as zero-lot-line houses and patio homes, are a great choice for future homeowners on a tight budget.

Narrow lot style houses tend to have straightforward floor designs and fewer corners, keeping total costs down.

Your narrow lot house can wear its miniscule size majestically when its exterior is painted a dark green, like sage green, and trimmed in white.
