fern acres

When I went up to Fern Acres, I asked the fellow I was visiting why so many houses were "sideways" on the lots, i.e., not facing the road. He told me that if you can't afford more than one lot, the traditional arrangement facing the road can result in the ends of the house being too close to the property line, depending on the design. I don't know if this was due to regulations, aesthetics, or privacy concerns, but in that part of the subdivision it was fairly common.
