The home buying process with Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando and Osceola County is an exciting and life-changing process. Part of this exciting journey is having the opportunity to choose a layout that fits your family’s lifestyle. Habitat Orlando & Osceola offers a variety of floorplans to choose from in each of our communities . As you begin to comb through your options, it’s important to think about how your family will use the space. The right floor plan will greatly improve your experience in your new home. We understand this can be a stressful decision process, so follow the tips below to help select the best layout for your family’s new home. Select your number of bedrooms This is an easy place to start. Consider how many family members you expect to live at your new home and if your family plans on growing. We offer three and four bedroom homes. Even if you’re a smaller family, an extra bedroom could act as a guest room or an office space. Think about your bathrooms Our current communities offer 1-2 full bathrooms. Silver Pines Pointe offers two full bathrooms, while most of Juniper Bend's floorplans offer one full bathroom. One bathroom may be more than adequate for smaller families, but two bathrooms can be useful for larger families and families that like to entertain frequently. Pay attention to the location of the bathrooms as well. Some of our homes offer the second bathroom as a master bath while others have both bathrooms in shareable locations. How much space do you need? Our pre-designated floor plans range from 1,244 square feet to 1,548 square feet. The extra square footage is most commonly found in the living space and storage areas. Depending on your family’s size and lifestyle, the extra space could just make life just a little easier. Most new construction homes are designed with open floor plans. An open floor plan may be that extra space for your children to run around, or the ideal set up for an evening with guests. We offer a variety of layout options, so sometimes it just comes down to personal preference! Storage, storage, storage All of our homes offer extra storage space and a designated laundry/utility space. If a single-car garage is high on your list of must-haves, then focus your attention to our Silver Pines Pointe homes . Every family is going to have personal belongings, but some may have more than others. To select the ideal layout for your family, take into consideration how much storage space your family may need Be Mindful of Your Budget As you run down this list of decisions, it’s important to keep in mind that more space comes with a cost. Our Habitat U classes will help you prepare your finances and determine how much you can spend on your home. Some choices may even be made easier as you can narrow your choices to what best fits your budget. Buying a home can be a nervewracking process, from applying to choosing the look of your home.
