Because of a lack of restrictions against types of houses that one could construct, various housing styles emerged in Rice Military. In 2003 houses included single-family houses, two- and three-story townhouses, and condominiums. Katherine Feser of the Chronicle said in 2003 that Rice Military became an "eclectic mix" and "a mishmash." During that year, Feser said that the range of house prices in Rice Military was "all over the map." Tim Bammel, a real estate agent of Martha Turner Properties, said in 2003 that a Rice Military "tear-down", or a house to be purchased so it could be demolished and replaced with new housing, had a price of around $150,000 ($ in current money). He said that a three-story townhouse would cost from $300,000 ($ in current money) to $340,000 ($ in current money).
