Single-story homes have become increasingly popular because they combine convenience, flexibility and long-term livability. While they have long appealed to retirees, today’s single-story homebuyers span every generation — from young families to busy professionals and empty nesters. The Summerlin master-planned community, with more than 120 actively selling floor plans, offers dozens of options for those seeking single-story homes.
According to Jenni Pevoto, senior director, master-planned community marketing for Summerlin, those seeking a home to age in place often prefer a single-story floor plan that makes every room in the house easily accessible.
“Even young families with small children are often drawn to single-story floor plans that eliminate the worry of falls and accidents that can occur on stairs,” she said. “Another bonus of single-story homes is their stronger connections to patios, courtyards, pools and backyards — creating a more seamless outdoor-indoor lifestyle. And without a second floor, there is no noise from footsteps overhead, offering a greater sense of privacy and quiet. Ultimately, single-story homes are popular because they offer something buyers increasingly value: a home that is comfortable today, adaptable tomorrow and designed for every stage of life.”
