Early developers operating within Cottontown sought to meet the needs of a broad range of potential residents. Some streets within the suburb boast large, two-story houses, though greater numbers feature more modest, single-family cottages and bungalows intended for middle-income households. While homes large and small were modified into multiple-occupant buildings, some residences were intentionally designed as duplexes and triplexes, often reflecting architectural styles observed in their single-family counterparts. The presence of both types of multi-occupancy dwellings has made Cottontown a popular neighborhood for renters.
