Puzzled by the various Descriptions of Properties when you are searching?
Here are the current Definitions of Residential Styles from Sandicor, which should make searching a bit simpler.
Detached:
Neither the residence nor any attached garage shares any wall with another property. This category also includes zero lot-line properties. The residence and/or attached garage is separate, disconnected and shares no common façade, roof or exterior wall.
Twinhome:
One of only two units attached by a single wall, façade, ceiling, roof or garage.
Townhome:
One of 3 or more units attached horizontally; each unit is typically 2 or more stories, but can be single story; no unit located above or below the subject unit; can be attached on one or two sides, but not on three sides; typically would have a front entrance and access to a yard or patio at the rear or side of the unit.
Row Home:
One of three or more units that are attached by a façade, roof or walkway.
All Other Attached:
An attached unit that does not fit the definition of Twinhome, Townhome or Row Home. Is typically part of a larger building with units above, below or on three sides. This style is meant to convey the characteristics of the building not just the unit listed. The “Unit Location” field gives additional info about the specific unit. For example, if the subject property is a penthouse or end unit attached at only one wall but part of a large multi-story building, it should be placed in the All Other Attached category.
Manufactured Home:
Includes all homes which were constructed in substantial or in part at a location other than the final property address. This category is independent of whether “real estate is included”, the property is on a foundation, HCD documents have been filed, the form of ownership, or the property is on the tax rolls.
Modular Home:
Modular homes are built in sections at a factory. Modular homes are built to conform to all state, local or regional building codes at their destinations. Sections are transported to the building site on truck beds, then joined together on site. Local building inspectors check to make sure a modular home’s structure meets requirements and that all finish work is done properly.

As Windermere Real Estate continues to grow, we believe that we are ‘Doing Well by Doing Good’” said Steve Rodgers, President/Owner of Windermere Exclusive Properties. “We have over 400 agents in our offices. If each agent donates a full day’s work, then Windermere Real Estate will donate well over 3,000 hours of community service to deserving organizations.”

Million Meal Event in Rancho Bernardo A HUGE Success
Posted by The Windermere Team | Leave A Comment »
More than 6000 volunteers, who helped to exceed the Million Meal goal by 100,000, gathered at the Church at Rancho Bernardo on March 20 and 21, for the Million Meal Food Packaging event by the Friends and Family Community Connection (FFCC) to help feed the hungry in Tanzania, Haiti and right here in San Diego.
Phil Harris of FFCC commented to the participants, “It was a joy and honor to work together to accomplish such a noble task. These meals will change the destiny of so many hungry and homeless children and families in need around the world, and right here in San Diego. You were the answer to the cries and prayers of millions asking for help. Thanks for delivering.”
FFCC have already sent 300,000 meals to the Port of Los Angeles for transport to Tanzania. The meals are a specially prepared mix of nutritious and filling ingredients consisting of rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and vitamins.
Aimee Cochrane of the Church at Rancho Bernardo said, “It was a blessing to have the support of our community, to which you and the Windermere family contributed immensely. The goal could not have been reached without the financial and volunteer support of Rancho Bernardo and the surrounding community.”
Steve Rodgers, President of Windermere Exclusive Properties stated, “When the opportunity to participate in this amazing global effort was presented to us, the true essence of what our Windermere family is about came flooding to the surface. It was an honor to partner with these wonderful organizations to do something so fulfilling.”
