Single
story or single level detached homes in Orange County, CA are
desirable for
many reasons. The number one reason is the lack of
stairs. For many people a staircase is an obstacle or a headache. Because
they are generally smaller, single story homes are also generally lower in
maintenance. The single floor makes these homes easier to keep
clean. One story homes are also more energy efficient because they cost less to heat
and cool! Single level homes are often the choice for first
time homebuyers as they are generally more affordable than
comparable two story homes. They also popular with buyers
looking to down size, empty nesters, retired people, buyers
seeking low maintenance rental and investment property, and buyers who want easier access within
the home due to the single level and lack of a stair case. If
you are interested in downsizing and are over 55, you may even
be able to keep your existing property tax rate. See OC
proposition 19 informationhere.
Single level homes are less
plentiful in newer communities because home builders generally
prefer to construct higher cost, two-story homes on a given piece
of land. They are far more common in older cities and areas of
Orange County, California. Many
people are familiar with the ranch style homes that were
largely constructed during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. These
homes are plentiful in cities like Fullerton, Yorba Linda,
Brea, Mission Viejo, Orange, and other areas in Orange County. Large
single level ranch homes are also very prevalent in equestrian
areas like Orange Park Acres and other Orange County horse
property areas. The typical large expanse of an equestrian
property naturally accommodates a large single level range
style house. The following links are for single story and
