Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right home size for my family?

Consider your current needs plus future growth. Families with young children often benefit from 4-5 bedroom homes with flexible spaces that can adapt as kids grow. Empty nesters might prefer 3-bedroom designs with first-floor primary suites for long-term accessibility.

What's the difference between first-floor and second-floor primary suites?

First-floor primary suites offer convenience and accessibility, making them ideal for those planning to age in place or who prefer single-level living. Second-floor primary suites provide more privacy and separation from daily household activities.

Which homes work best for work-from-home situations?

Look for homes with dedicated studies (like The Huntington or Tangier) or flexible spaces that can serve as offices. The Kiawah's dining room often doubles as an office space, while homes with loft areas can accommodate home office setups.

What should I consider for entertaining and hosting?

Large, open-concept homes like The Huntington and Sanibel excel for formal entertaining. For casual gatherings, consider homes with covered porches and flowing indoor-outdoor spaces. The size of your kitchen island and dining areas also impacts entertaining capacity.

How do I know if a home plan can accommodate future needs?

Look for homes with flexible spaces, unfinished areas for customization, and adaptable room layouts. The Nantucket and Kiawah offer excellent flexibility, while homes with loft spaces can evolve to meet changing needs.
