A suburban tract is replanted as an orchard.

Not totally ideal, but a lot better than a straight suburban tract with side-by-side front yards full of frolicking kids and anxious mothers.

There are now about 6 families per acre in Charlotte Gardens, as the suburban tract is known, where there were once close to 200.

Perhaps nowhere is this increase more visible than in the houses being built in the upscale suburban tracts that are sprouting across the country.
