Some 40 teen-agers had gathered in the second-floor unit of the housing project, the Breukelen Houses, to dance to music provided by a disk jockey.

The apartments, called coach homes, will be in 20 buildings, each with four units, with second-floor units commanding the higher prices.

First-floor apartments opened onto a covered promenade; the doors of the second-floor units were under the tile roof of an iron-railed balcony.

There was a cart on the long balcony overhead, in front of an open door to one of the second-floor units.

A third of the apartments will have fireplaces and some second-floor units will have lofts that can be used as dens or playrooms.

But we were happy to find that there was plenty of room in our second-floor unit, at 800 square feet far larger than the typical resort hotel room.

The old woman walked upstairs, up to the second-floor units.

The ground floor and my second-floor unit were built out to the lot line.

She said she stopped renting the apartments 10 years ago and now lives in one of the second-floor units toward the back of the house.

The second-floor units are simplexes.
