These homes are referred to as CBS which stands for cement block, stucco. Many from the north call the cement blocks cinder blocks, but there isn't any cinders in them, just cement. They usually need painting every 8 years or so but especially sealed to prevent water intrusion thru the walls. I had a home in south Florida that water had seeped through the wall and caused the carpet to become wet.
