The Neapolitans

Situated in the New Urbanist development of Old Town North, Fort Collins, Colorado, The Neapolitans offer the "Green-Conscious" homebuyer with the best of both worlds -- affordability and sustainability. Our unique modular design is deceiving because although each unit has an identical footprint, exterior architecture belies the typical "shipping container" exterior aesthetic. Moreover, with twenty-seven (27) unique floorplan options to choose from, even the most meticulous homebuyer can find the precise configuration that will feed his or her unique lifestyle. Choose from Gothic, Tudor, and Victorian.
