Every location has its own flavor and style when it comes to how homes are built. The raw materials used to build homes is often taken form that area. In Phoenix homes were coated in stucco ( a concrete and sand mixture) Builders had gotten

very creative in how they stylistically applied the stucco. There were names for differing styles: Spanish lace, Sandstone and many others.

In Austin builders often use brick or stone for the outside of the home. Texas Limestone is easily accessible. It is a white stone and very pretty. Other colored stones are imported and used as well.

After many years of living in stucco homes it was a pleasant surprise to see the brick and stone covered homes in the Austin area.

Often when looking for a home a buyer will request to look only at those that are 3 to four side brick or stone on the outside. Buyers recognize this will keep their exterior maintenance to a minimum.
