The majority of the housing in Mt. Laurel are single family homes, but they also do have some apartments. These apartments are setup as Apartment houses. This photograph shows two such houses within Mt. Laurel. Actually, on one side of the park I showed previously under the heading Preserving Trees is where these are located. The style of the buildings are complimentary to the surrounding homes. Hopefully, causing these two buildings not to stand out as being different, which I think they've done pretty well. This also promotes people of different income levels living next door to each other. There is on street parking and the park directly across the street, which increases the chances of different income individuals interacting with each other by choice. This is a positive design with positive effects.
