Colorado Springs Houses

I work with a lot of Colorado Springs first time home buyers, and I often ask them what type of floor plan they would like in a home. When I ask the question, I often see a blank look in their face; and I realize that first time buyers really don't know what type of floor plan they like or don't like; consequently I thought it would be helpful to put together some information on advantages and disadvantages of different types of house floor plans.
Ranch houses
- Sleeping and work areas are on one level; eliminating the need for stairs climbing. Can be well suited to baby boomers or seniors
- The exterior can be easy to reach and easy to maintain, although if it is built on a sloping lot with a walk-out basement, it can be more challenging to maintain
- Can be more difficult to provide privacy, since the house is on one level
- Takes more space to accommodate the same gross living area
- More expensive to build
Two Story - has a living space on two separate floors, stacked on top of each other
- Living and sleeping areas are separated, providing more privacy and better sound insulation
- Economical to build, requires the smallest footprint
- Second floor bedrooms are considered more safe than ground level bedrooms
- Climbing steps can definitely be a disadvantage
