In the DC (Northern Virginia and Maryland) suburbs you usually see vinyl and brick houses. Traditional styles are very common in Raleigh from new builders. But what you don’t see in the DC area are bungalow-style houses, similar to those in the historical areas of Raleigh. Although, if you go to rural areas and older neighborhoods on the outskirts of the district capital, you will still find them. Older homes fell through Raleigh and the Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill), mostly bungalow-style. They have entrances or screened in the entrances. Usually these areas have more mature trees. Magnolia trees are very southern.
What about town houses?
In urban areas of DC there are many ordinary houses. In the suburbs of DC, you will see many three-story brick houses. You can find these styles of urban homestead in the Research Triangular Park and in the center of Raleigh. Three-story townhouses are all over Rails, and they are mostly vinyl with some kind of brick exterior. Traditional townhouses still have 3 bedrooms in both areas.
What about the basements?
They are more popular in the DC suburbs than Raleighs, but there are cellars, especially on the slopes of yards. Many of the houses in Raleigh have a beautiful natural setting, including lakes and trees. The soil, water, and conservationists coped well with the conservation of these areas. Even some apartment buildings run through parks and lakes. This is very common.
Also in Raleigh you will see a lot of modern homes. Some of them used environmentally friendly energy efficient components. New and new Condos are very common near poor areas such as the city center, shopping districts and the research triangle park.
