Multifamily variety at Stapleton

This block, adjacent to the first neighborhood green at Stapleton, features stacked flats facing the green and rowhouses facing away. When mixing housing types on one block, it is better to have different types facing across an alley than a street. The rowhouses, like many three- and four-story rowhouses today, have an updated version of an English basement. The ground-level first floor houses a garage and multipurpose room, with the living areas upstairs.

"Syracuse Village" offers condominiums from the $100s to income-qualified buyers at Stapleton in Denver. Note the subtle ramps along the side for accessibility. These appear to have eight flats per building.

Bungalow court at Stapleton

Tags for this image:

Bungalow courts in Stapleton create spaces for smaller homes and fit well into odd-sized parcels on deeper blocks, in this case on a collector road. Note that the sidewalks create a passage that can be used by fire trucks; this view was taken from a vacant parcel across the alley. Architect: Wolff-Lyon for Wonderland Homes.
