I mean, if you live in a town that you can easily commute to work in a nearby city's commercial core, you do not live in a small town.

Do not live in a small town anymore. it's changed in the last 20 years.

There are villas in High River?

Sometimes I mourn the changes in the small town nearest to us, but you're right, change is inevitable. I will just need to make peace.

Duplexes. The developers' marketing people think 'villa' sounds more distinguished.

Interesting. Personally, if I cared about having a distinguished address, I probably wouldn't move to High River in the first place...

Based on the position of the windows, I'd guess the window closest to the door is a den/office or spare bedroom. My parents lived in a place that looked almost identical to that and that's how it was laid out.

It's a den. All houses on my street were designed that way.
