Historic Infill

Historic neighborhoods often provide excellent opportunities for infill affordable housing by offering supportive, well-connected communities that are frequently located close to jobs, public transportation and shopping.  At the same time, the combination of new construction of housing and new owner occupants can stimulate revitalization of neglected or blighted older neighborhoods. It is widely recognized that revitalizing historic neighborhoods not only evokes a sense of pride in the past but also saves energy, materials, and resources for the enjoyment and use of future generations.   Read more about the importance of Historic Infill...

TightLines Designs has been involved in many historic districts and has witnessed significant success stories with this development model.  Older homes get renovated, absentee landlords sell to owner occupants, crime gets reduced, and affordable housing is provided. Since our homes are historically inspired, from form through detail, many fit seamlessly into the context of the neighborhood. In fact, many TightLines houses have been approved for new construction in National Historic Districts, and we will gladly work with you in seeking any required approvals.  And if you don't find the appropriate style in our existing catalog of home designs, we can easily modify our plans or provide affordable custom designs that fit the character and design requirements of your local historic neighborhood. We can also help you select the most appropriate homes to fit the character of your individual neighborhood. Please contact us so we can assist you.
