25 pads on 2 acres?

Interested in feedback regarding amount of homes/acre everyone seems to shoot for when analyzing properties. Is 25 pads on 2 acres too close together? Thanks!

I think the max on fd show is about 14 per acre. Most important is the distance between homes. If it’s under the fire Marshall’s standard you have a problem.good luck

14 per acre is maximal density maybe with only small 2BR homes, but in practice you will be limited by drainage, impact & environmental requirements, mandated entrance and access roads and widths and setback ordinances.

I’d imagine you could go no more than 8 per acre by today’s rules almost anywhere, and likely less.

Contact the fire marshal. Make sure there have never been any documented life/safety issues prior to purchase. As long as you’re on city utilities and have enough room to move homes in and out then it shouldn’t be an issue.
