Jules, the homes are very different from what you typically see here in the Atlanta area. It's been a while since I've driven through there, and I'm not very good at describing things, but many of them looked like they belonged to a different place and/or time: ie: I seem to remember one that looked something like a plantation house, several of them looked like very large townhouses that you might see in a city - very different from the typical 2-story stucco or brick house. I also seem to remember that many of the lots were very small and the houses close to the street, which added to the almost surreal atmosphere. At that time, we were house-hunting and had looked at many homes in many different neighborhoods, and this one definitely had a unique feel to it! My sister told me once that every one of the homes was modeled after some well-known historical house somewhere. I don't know if that's true or not, though. I can imagine the HM house would fit in very well there!
