Every property that was constructed in Melrose was passed before an architectural review board that approved or disapproval of the exterior style of the home. The idea was to prevent homes of similar design but at the same time avoiding a cookie cutter look. As an example no 2 houses of the same design could be built side by side or directly across the street from one another. One of the other planned development strategies was to eliminate all fencing. This made Melrose have the feel of wide open spaces instead of long lines of houses closed in by fencing. Many planned unit developments fall in line with the codes set forth by Melrose but Melrose even went as far as to limit the exterior color selections to all natural colors. You won't see a baby blue house with pink trim in Melrose. Everything is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and features a natural look and design.
