It's a neighborhood instance.  Each neighborhood has a mix of standard, deluxe, and kinship housing (for a total of 30); as well as the commons areas that are shared by everyone. 

Each neighborhood is actually a fairly large place.  Every house having it's own path, a large yard all around the house, and other decorative items.  There are trees, hills, rivers, lakes, cliffs, and even windmills... depending on the area or neighborhood that your house is placed in.

IMO, the best housing system i've seen. Single-house instances like in FFXI are stupid, and the live-housing of SWG was okay but it was just alot of modern buildings in the middle of open fields with grass growing all around, no way to build floors or concrete, looked really stupid as a whole. Nothing in the way of fencing, just a primitive system overall. The LOTRO system is good, lots of houses per instance that you can choose from and the zones look absolutely fantastic! I can't wait to get my house!
