The Story

Development patterns follow recent post-recession trends. About 44% of new housing built in the Point of the Mountain area is single-family homes, which, when added to current housing, leads to a total of 65% single-family homes. The Point of the Mountain area does not accommodate all its projected growth, so additional land is converted to homes and businesses in places far from existing job centers, such that many people drive longer distances.
