I was looking at new homes in a local real estate magazine. A few of them said "brick elevation" and I'm not sure what that is. Anyone know what they mean by that?

"Elevation" is the vertical parts on the outside of a building.
If you look at architect's blueprints, or builders "plan", some pages show a "birds'-eye-view" looking down at the sizes of the rooms etc, and other pages show the exterior walls, left-to-right, bottom-to-top. Those walls are the "Elevations"
It can be a "Front Elevation", Back Elevation, Left Side Elevation, Right Side Elevation, East / West / North / South Elevation,...
"Brick Elevation" means that exterior wall(s) are made of brick, but it does not specify if its all the exterior walls, or just one or three. A fancy house often has a "stone front elevation" and brick sides and back elevations. Check with the builder about how many of the exterior walls are all brick. Brick (and stone) is the strongest.

I think it is a buzz word which sounds classier than "The block foundation is faced with brick".
