The Easy Way to Explore New Home Floor Plans

Your home is a haven of security and relaxation where you create lasting memories. Whether it’s where you found out you got your dream job or where your child took their first steps, a home to call your own is something special. You want to look forward to coming home each day. When it comes to having your new home built, choosing the right floor plan can seem like a challenge. Here, the team at Lowder New Homes will help you learn what you should look for when considering floor plans.

Floor plans are two-dimensional graph drawings of a property. They are designed from an aerial view, allowing you to see a home from the top down, and they provide a look at the overall layout of the space. Floor plans give you an overview of a home before it is built, helping you to better understand how you will navigate the space, where your furniture will fit best, and more. Once the floor plan meets the property owner's needs (and legal requirements), blueprints of the space will be drawn up so you can move forward with the construction process.

Some aspects of the home you’ll be able to see on a floor plan are:

• Living and working areas
• Room layouts
• Door and window placement
• Designated areas for appliances, including ovens, refrigerators, washers, dryers, and fireplaces

While there are seemingly limitless ways that a house can be constructed, floor plans typically follow some standard concepts. For instance, you’re less likely to find a home where the main bedroom is located right next to the front door or one where the only staircase is located in the back of the house.

A professional floor plan may show you the entryway and how the house opens from there. You’ll get to imagine what life will be like coming home from work and where your shoes will go or what it will be like to entertain guests and introduce them to your home. It allows you to better picture what your quality of life might be like with the finished product, which even the most detailed descriptions and photos simply can’t do.

At Lowder New Homes, we pride ourselves on making it easy to picture life in your new home. That’s why we have more floor plan options than our competitors. Our fully detailed floor plans include bonus options that let you choose which layout works best for your needs. Some options provide more closet space and an easy-to-navigate, single-floor layout, while others provide a second floor with additional living spaces and bathrooms.

We know that not every aspiring homeowner wants the same things, which is why we make it easy to sort based on your preferences. You can adjust the results to show only options in the area or community you’re hoping for. You can also filter by the number of bedrooms and/or bathrooms that you expect to need, helping you narrow down your search. Lastly, if you know the approximate square footage you’re looking for, you can choose between options that are 1,000 to 2,500 square feet or those that are 2,500 to 4,000 square feet. You can even search our available homes to look at what’s available and calculate your expected mortgage.
