I like the all brick, and one big rectangle (simple roof line). 

The same two acres, could probably get about 30% more if it was a rectangle versus a square, due to less turnarounds.Attachment:This is a relaxed layout, I did not try to cram the spaces in.Rows and Road ConfigurationARoadBCRoadDERoadFThis layout is on a 2 acre square.Roads are all the same width.All rows are set at 45 degree anglesUnitDescriptionRow: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 notes:If I didn't do back to back would have about 30% less spots ( you have to add more driveways for the same number of units) and payback would be around 18 years versus 12.

The order of appearance is different  Kind of like all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.Also, whether a market is a high end or "cheaper" doesn't make that market a good one...or a bad one. 

New to this and wondering what to expect cost/profit-wise.6.2 acre rectangle approved by city for 22 homes and approved house type (starter home area <$250k). 3 homes on land need to be taken out and road, sewer, electric put in.

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

Not all rectangles are squares, but all squares are rectangles.The requirement for choosing a market is "can you make money there"...NOW.

My goal is simple: 3br/2ba, 1000 sqft rectangle (yes, I know, tight space)...

Shape of property; - Ranked: Rectangle, square, all others.

You could also think about using the rectangle tiles that add some really nice pop.

They built most of the single story rectangle shaped 1000-15000 sqft houses in the late 60s through 70s you see all over dfw.
