Architecture




There are soooo many different styles and types of homes...


  • Condos
  • Townhomes
  • One Story/Rambler/Ranch
  • Two Story
  • One-and-a-half story
  • ya-d-ya-d-ya...

Townhomes
The first thing to consider is whether you want shared walls with your neighbors. There are advantages to living in a Common-Interest-Community (i.e., CIC, Townhome, Condo).
They often take care of the exterior, snow removal and lawn care and even water, sewer and trash. Meaning you get a fair amount of bang for a monthly dues payment buck.

Single Family Homes
How much space do you want?
A large one story will often cost as much or maybe more than a large two story since it will require a larger lot.
Are stairs a concern?
Do you want your bedrooms away from the living areas so you don't have to make your bed or keep an immaculate room?

It's a good idea to look at a few of each type to get a feel for your likes & dislikes.

Happy house-hunting!
