How to Choose the Best Lot to Build Your Dream Home
When you hire a home builder in Frisco TX, one of the first things you’ll do is choose a lot to build your home on. This is exciting, because you can choose the community you want to live in as well as the specific lot where you want to build your new dream home.
Start by taking a look at the community site plan online to familiarize yourself with the layout and lots. Then schedule an in-person tour if possible to see the lots for yourself.
Here are some things to consider:
Where the lot is located in the community
Pay attention to your lot’s location within the overall community plan. Living close to the entrance might be convenient, but it will put you in a higher-traffic area. The same goes for purchasing a lot near the clubhouse or pool. There will be more people walking around, but you’ll be able to step out your door and socialize or stroll to the pool for a swim.
How the lot is situated on its street
Think about whether you prefer to be toward the middle of a row of houses or on a corner or cul de sac. Corners may have larger lots but more traffic. Cul de sacs will have less traffic and often have larger back yards.
Lot size
If you have kids and dogs or you love gardening, you’ll probably want a large lot. Someone who has very little spare time or travels frequently might prefer a smaller lot.
Orientation to the sun
Don’t overlook the impact of the sun on your future home. Do you want the morning sun to shine into your bedroom? Is it more important to have shade on the back patio in the morning or afternoon? Will you have a garden that needs plenty of sun?
