Picking the ideal site to create your custom home is definitely one of the most important decisions you will make throughout the process. Different custom house sites can affect the primary layout of your future home, the cost of construction, and the amount of interaction you will have with your neighbors. There are a few considerations and points to keep in mind while you choose a custom home site in the future. Read on to learn more!
Sloping Grounds for a Walk-Out Basement
Choosing a home site with sloping grounds can be nice if you’re hoping to include a walk-out area for your basement. These basements include windows or doors, depending on what you need. Walk-out basements offer simple access to your backyard and a lot of natural lighting. Adding these kinds of elements to your custom home can transform the standard, traditional basement into a lovely living space.
Wooded Properties for Shade and Privacy
Are you now looking to move into a more secluded area, maybe around the edge of your community? Wooded properties offer all of the privacy you would potentially want. These sites are fantastic for anyone who wants some separation from the neighbors without moving to a rural spot. Other benefits of wooded custom home properties include more shade and a scenic view to enjoy. If you opt for this type of site, make sure you’re considering a backyard sitting area as well. You will love the wooded, secluded view that you’re greeted by each morning.
Traffic Patterns Around the Custom Home Property
Will your lot border some busy streets? What are the traffic patterns like on a typical day? Is the road that already exists now going to expand at all? This will probably not be a serious issue if you live in a secluded neighborhood, but busy streets can be loud and less attractive for newer custom home builders. Keep this in mind while you are looking for a possible new custom home site.
Housing Restrictions
Along with zoning regulations, specific areas have restrictive covenants that will help determine what your house will look like and which different activities can take place on your custom home property. Any local building codes and restrictions can have an impact on the type of home you’d like to build. A custom home builder from Cedar Square Homes can give you some more information on this, so don’t hesitate to ask during the home building process!
