Interesting! Do your houses tend to have the same sorts of architecture that ours do? Our street is rather a mishmash of types because the oldest ones (including ours) were built close to a hundred years ago, and then over the course of the 20th century, the house lots were subdivided, and newer, often smaller houses were build between the originals, in completely different styles.
ETA: The Park family's house (on the left, with the huge solar panel array on the south-facing roof) was originally just a single story. They added a second story a couple of years ago. It came on a huge flatbed truck, and an equally huge crane came and lifted it atop the original house (the original roof had been removed).
