Northtowns Neo-Mediterranean is an architectural style.

Northtowns Neo-Mediterranean houses often include:

  • Brick facing (standard modular or Roman) on the front elevation; usually cream-colored, sometimes red.
  • White colored aluminum or vinyl siding on side and rear elevations.
  • Hip roofs, usually with a low pitch and large eaves.
  • Window Mullions; either none or snap-in diagonal grid pattern units.
  • Palladian motif fenestration outlines on first floor facade windows, but fitted with standard rectangular windows.
  • May have two-story windows, and/or fanlight over the front door bringing light into two-story foyers.
  • Little or no articulation detailing on the facade, except where attached garages join the houses.
  • Double-entrance front doorway.
  • Interior design elements: cabinetry, lighting fixtures, and hardware are often neo-Rococo "ornate elegant" styles.
  • Residences are usually two-story structures, but traits of the style can often be found in Ranch-style houses and Split-level homes built then.
