This is an Atlanta builder's best-selling house

In Atlanta a 1,366 sq. ft. split-level, designed by Architect Warren F. Penney, is Fred Fett Jr.'s bestselling house. It's priced at $16,190. One reason why it sells so well: he delayed building it until he had the right kind of rolling land.

This split will account for about half of Fett's 1956 production. He also has a 1,200 sq. ft. brick veneer ranch priced at $14,450 without "extras." It replaces a smaller model introduced in December at $14,600 with built-ins and patio, but less brick.

Here is Park Forest's newest and biggest

In Park Forest, 111., where 8,000 houses have been built in five years, the big news is the big house and it's a split-level.

The new models sell for $19,500 to $22,950, against a top of $19,000 last year and $15,000 a few years ago. The splits have family rooms, 2 and 2½ baths, built-in appliances. About a third of '56 buyers will be old Park Foresters.
