The development around Washington Ave is definitely more "stucco" than the stuff you drive through in Montrose and Midtown.

They are spread out among single family residences, duplexes, apartments, and other random types of housing.

Also, you must realize that a lot of what appears to be single family housing are actually houses that have been retrofitted for multifamily.

I can see that. However, a lot of these townhomes actually have "yards", which is to say they have enough space for a few lawn chairs and a BBQ grill and maybe some plants.
