Elm Brook Homes is a suburban infill residential project located on a 12.9-acre (5.2-hectare) site in historic Concord, Massachusetts, across from the birthplace of Henry David Thoreau, an American author, poet, and philosopher. The development’s 12 single-family detached houses are situated on a cul-de-sac atop a raised meadow adjacent to marshland. Its completion in 2002 set a precedent for high-quality, modular, workforce (affordable) housing in a premium housing market with sensitive historical design considerations.
