A single-family dwelling usually attached to one other home and featuring a patio on one side describes which housing type?

• A. Zone V
• B. Patio Home
• C. Zero Lot Line
• D. Zone X

Answer: (B)

Patio homes are single-family houses designed to be attached to one neighbor on a side, with a patio area on the exterior. The description—usually attached to another home on one side and featuring a patio—fits this layout exactly, highlighting the shared wall and outdoor living space. Flood zone codes (like those describing Zone V or Zone X) relate to flood risk, not housing design, so they describe location rather than structure. A zero-lot-line home focuses on building right up to the property boundary with little side yard, not specifically on having a patio on one side, so it doesn’t match the description as well.
