- Can be one or two levels, or one level with a finished basement
- Available in almost any architectural style
- Designed with style while keeping comfort and affordability in mind
- Most are budget-friendly and designed to meet tight budgets
- Floor plans can offer from one to four bedrooms and baths
- Require less building materials than larger home and are therefore affordable to build
- Deliver functional living space and include popular features like kitchen islands and main floor laundry rooms
