What's interesting here to me is there are alleys behind these houses but they have chosen to put front garages on the infills and turn the entire back yard into green space. I actually don't mind that on it's own but I'm not sure how that squares with a neighborhood that was developed with alleys.
Ideally to me it would be better to move the house to the front of the yard, nobody uses their front anyways and take that additional room and put it behind the house. That leaves room for a garage and also a decent yard. Problem I suppose is none of the older homes sit that far forward on their lots so it would make for w weird dynamic.
