A large and
pretentious house, typically
of shoddy
construction, typical of "upscale" suburban developments in the late
20th and early 21st centuries. Such houses
are characterized by steep roofs of complex design, theatrical entrances, lack of stylistic integrity and backsides which are
notably less fussy than their fronts. They are often placed closely together to maximize the developer's profits and appeal to people who value perceived
social status over actual, physical, economic or historic value.

mortgaged herself up to her neck to
buy a new McMansion on Woodbridge Road
Court in Clayton Hills Valley Estates at North Pine River Hollow Meadows.
