HOUSING

We make every effort to provide comfortable homes that are well constructed, maintained and managed. You will be asked to pay a reasonable rent for housing, but we'll take complete care of the costs of utilities and maintenance.

Each company community has the same basic standard of housing. The homes in the central parts of these communities were mostly built in the 1940s and 1950s. Many have been renovated. They're neat, comfortable homes on tree-lined streets. As these communities grew, mainly in the late 1970s and early 1980s, more homes were built. There are a variety of housing types, from multi-story apartment units, to townhouses, to freestanding homes.

The kind of housing you will have depends on your family status:

• Single men and women generally live in units that range between 500 and 1,000 square feet (46 and 92 square meters). These may be in apartment-type structures or attached townhouses with private patios.
• Family-status employees live in townhouses or freestanding units. The sizes of these units will vary, but range between 1,500 and 2,200 square feet (139 and 204 square meters). Most units have attached garages and small yards or garden areas.
