Why Choose a Narrow Lot House Plan?

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.

If your lot is narrow, you have two choices when it comes to picking a house plan.

1. Modify your favorite house plan to fit the lot
2. Choose a narrow lot house plan
