Indigo Modern

Indigo Modern Townhomes are located about 1/2 block from my house, across the street from the Royal El Con apartment complex. They are pretty out of place for the neighborhood, especially considered that they are the only gated complex and that they sell for about $300,000 compared to the low-cost, run-down apartments across the street. It's urban living without all that uncomfortable exposure to the actual city.



Notice that the news report does not show any general shots of the surrounding area or mention how the developers had to strong-arm the neighborhood association to let them build those metal boxes and a huge parking lot. The style is called a 'housing cluster,' which means that parking is in the front and that there are no shared walls, but the units are very close together.
