The neighbours in the miniature street scene you are creating would likely have similar residences, which is usually what you see when visiting actual neighborhoods in real life. In the real world the homes would most likely have been constructed by the same builder around the same year, so having 5 brick homes and bungalows in one street is logical. The builder probably did a bulk buy on materials and bought a big quantity of bricks for a special price. That’s the likely real life scenario, so replicating that in miniature makes perfect sense for model railroaders and people creating dioramas, or for children completing school projects.
You can create an entire street scene with by printing out duplicate copies of these paper houses, so 5 homes could easily become 15 homes, with each one looking unique with the help of some clever positioning of miniature scenery elements such as trees, bushes, gardens, driveways, plastic people and animal figures etc.
