Finding the right lot of land to build on is the first step in the home building process. The slope, location, and size of the lot help determine which house plan you build. If you have acres to build on, you can choose any size house you want. But if you choose land in a suburban area, for example, the size of the lot can be limited. Many of these lots are narrow which limits the number of house plans that can be built on them.
Narrow Lot Plan 034-01030
If your lot is narrow, you have two choices when it comes to picking a house plan.
Building a new home from the ground up on a narrow lot does not have to require customized house plans. We have almost 2,000 narrow lot house plans that are more accommodating to your limited land. Our Narrow Lot house plans are typically no more than 40 feet in width with a few exceptions and can be 1 or 2 stories high in order to extend the square footage.
Building up is the most common option when constructing a home on a narrow property lot. But you can include a basement in your new home, giving you a ton more square footage.
