Designing the interior of private homes.

3. Single Family Homes Free standing residential home Advantages:
– Privacy, space, and independence are at a maximum. – Value usually increases over time, making a house’s purchase more like an investment. – Storage space.

In certain areas (bigger cities) land is becoming harder to find
Also known as site-built homes
Can use plans from a book or have a architect create from scratch

5. Tract Housing
Multiple homes of a similar style that are built on a tract of land that becomes a subdivision.
Developers buy large tracts of land to build community.
Advantages of tract houses: lower prices, the floor plan is likely appealing to many people, in a neighborhood, can be great for first home, or long term investments. If you purchase while the home is being built you may have some choices such as wall colors, flooring materials, and light fixtures.
Disadvantages: quality of build is not always taken into consideration due to builder wanting to build a lot of houses in a short amount of time, pay attention to details such as hardware, light fixtures, and durability of carpets. Smaller land per house, may have HOA dues and stipulation. Not a lot of individuality in the home.

6. Modular Homes
Modular homes that are built in a factory as boxes/rooms which are shipped to the building site.
The “boxes” are then assembled onto a foundation to form a house.
May also be known as systems-built, or factory-built homes.
Built to the same local and state codes as site-built homes.
Do not have to halt building due to weather
Built quicker than stick-built homes

7. Mobile Homes

The wheels may be removed and the home placed on a foundation to meet local codes.

Sometimes poor insulation leads to higher electric bills

8. Tiny Homes Homes that are typically under 400 square feet

These structures always have at least one common wall

10. Apartments

Can be temporary housing, especially if in an area for a short time, or long term
Advantages: Maintenance and repairs are covered. – Utility bills can be lower because you may not be responsible for water. – Amenities, such as security and fitness centers, may be included.
Disadvantages:
– Privacy isn’t promised — sounds can travel through walls, floors, and ceilings. – Parking can be a hassle if the building doesn’t have a designated garage. – Space is limited, and a yard will be communal if it exists at all.

11. Condominiums
Building in which the buyer owns individual space and interest in the common areas.
Must follow the HOA (Homeowners Association) in regards to the exterior of unit, all yards, and other common areas.
Can make NO changes unless approved by HOA
Advantages: low maintenance, the HOA takes care of all outside needs, cheaper than a single family house, better investment over renting, onsite amenities, some have security features
Disadvantages: Cost of HOA, can sometimes be difficult to sell, close neighbors

12. Townhouse Individual houses that share one to two common walls.
Has 2 or more stories
Townhomes can be owned or rented
Advantages:

Disadvantages:
– Renovations need approval from the HOA. – Some walls are shared with neighbors, which decreases privacy. – Space is limited, though more available than in an apartment.
