Architecture Guide - Residential Styles of Homes

Every area has residential styles unique to it. In Rochester for example, homes typically fall into the categories of Cape Cod, Ranch, Colonial and Split-level. In other parts of the country, other styles are more traditional, e.g. Pueblo/Spanish Eclectic in the Southwest; Saltbox in New England; Greek Revival in the South. REALTOR Magazine features a "Residential Styles" guide which includes illustrations, photographs, and detailed descriptions about popular styles. Plus, use the Home Features guide to learn about architectural elements such as dormers, roofs, and arches that make a property distinct. You'll also find a regular column with interesting articles that educate readers about residential architectural styles and trends.
