Yes, Craftsman houses are more common in specific regions, especially in the United States. The Craftsman style of architecture emerged in the early 20th century and was popularized by the American Arts and Crafts movement. The style features natural materials, handcrafted details, and a connection to nature.

Craftsman houses are particularly prevalent in the western parts of the United States, such as California, Oregon, and Washington. This region embraced the Craftsman style due to its compatibility with the natural landscapes and the availability of quality wood for construction.

However, Craftsman houses can be found throughout the United States, with variations and adaptations to suit regional preferences and climates. They became popular across the country during the early 20th century as affordable and aesthetically pleasing options for middle-class families. Many cities and suburbs across America have neighborhoods with significant concentrations of Craftsman houses.
