Modern Victorian Multi-Family Units
|
Modern living in modern Multi-Family housing doesn't have to be without a boatload of charm!
Developments exist that blend in wonderfully with historic districts.
Examples exist in Historic McKinney and the City of Denton.
and best of all, all the wonderful amenities and beautiful designs don't cost an arm & a leg.
Prices are on par with the mundane apartments, duplexes, condo's and town houses.
Who doesn't like a free upgrade? Enjoy First Class for the same price as flying coach! ;-)

Victoria Village, Denton, Texas
Here you see a typical block apartment complex.
Typically nothing to write home about.
But to the immediate left of this complex is a very appealing multi-family apartment set up...
Done in High Victorian style with all the typical historic features...
Like Turrets and Bay Windows!!!
Gingerbread, Fretwork, Spandrels, Fan brackets, and turned posts!!!
Sunbursts & Fish Scale Shingles!
Individually painted to give the illusion of separate houses,
rather than living in cubicle apartments.
And Painted in correct earth-tone colors for the era!!!
The builder really did their homework!
Full Porch and Fancy multi-pane windows and screens. Nice!
Located at: 401 S. Locust St., Denton, TX
Photos of Back Side below.
Correct colors continued on back side of building.
Individually painted to give the illusion of separate houses rather than living in cubicle apartments.
Very Nice Back Side compared to other random apartment complexes!
