Manage Worlds (upper right corner) will take you to the 'hood' screen where you can place more houses/households (in the upper left corner is a button to switch worlds so you can place new houses/households anywhere in that save). You can also switch which household you are playing, if you want. Note - time & seasons keeps passing so if you leave Fred in one house at Friday 9am in Summer and switch to Ted, it will be Friday at 9am in Summer).
You can enter lots (occupied or not) to check them out, add stuff, totally remodel them or just plain bulldoze the house & place a new one (yes, even if sims live there - they have to pay for it though). You can also evict sims from houses and let them be homeless.
Manage Households (also upper right corner, when viewing the 'hood' screen) is a feature I just love (I just started playing ts4 last month). It lets you do a variety of things to manage the households in your saves. You can delete sims that you don't want or move them from one household to another or to their own household (the create a new household button is above the other window). If a sim is in a household with other sims and you want to delete that one sim, you can select the create a new household button and split that sim off to the new household, then delete that household afterwards. This is where you can set a household as unplayed and let them be townies.
