Craftsman bungalows and Tudor Revival cottages dominate the older blocks. Spanish Colonial Revival and American Foursquare homes also appear throughout the area. Lots run smaller than what you'll find in newer Colorado Springs subdivisions. Many properties measure 5,000 to 7,000 square feet. Alley access is common, with detached garages set behind the main house. Tree-lined sidewalks and mature elms define the streetscape. The grid layout keeps walking simple.

New construction in Patty Jewett is rare because the neighborhood was built out by the 1950s. Most new builds happen on infill lots where an older home was demolished. These projects must comply with city zoning rules regarding height and setbacks. A handful of recent infill projects have replaced damaged or condemned structures. Buyers looking strictly for new construction should plan to expand the search to other Colorado Springs neighborhoods.
