Is Lot Selection as Important as Floor Plan Choice?

When embarking on a homebuying journey, consider a few things: What is the ideal floor plan? Is the location desirable? Most importantly, does the lot size feature ample room for the actual home plan and any outdoor living needs?

When shopping for a new West Michigan home with JTB Homes, it is essential to note that the homesite a house sits on can crucially shape the overall living experience. While the floor plan determines the interior design, the actual lot size influences a homebuyer’s outdoor lifestyle, privacy and connection to the overall neighborhood. Our community maps include a feature that shows which floor plan is compatible with each lot! Simply click the available lot to view the available floor plans.

Understanding the importance of selecting a homesite along with the perfect floor plan empowers homebuyers to make an informed decision about their future home:

Floor Plan & Home Site Compatibility

Plain and simple – not every floor plan works with every homesite. The JTB Homes team carefully considers how each residence in every community fits with the surrounding environment. Some floor plans require more expansive homesites to accommodate three-stall garages, while others are designed to maximize outdoor living space. JTB Homes considers all these factors and more when planning the layout of a new construction neighborhood to ensure each homeowner has ample room to enjoy their new West Michigan home.

Our team offers a variety of floor plans with a wide range of bedroom and bathroom options and square footage. To accommodate a diverse suite of floor plan options in each community, JTB Homes prioritizes selecting locations that can easily accommodate plans large and small to ensure there’s something for every buyer, whether they are in the market for a large family home or downscaling for life’s next chapter. When prospective buyers select their perfect floor plan, we work closely with them to determine an equally superb homesite selection.

Each JTB Homes community is uniquely designed to balance density with green space, ensuring residents enjoy community connection and personal space. This careful planning reassures residents that they can enjoy the benefits of a close-knit community while still having their own personal space. Premium homesites may offer special features like backing to preserved natural areas or water features, corner locations with extra yard capacity or elevated positions with enhanced views.

Curate Your Ideal Outdoor Lifestyle

The amount of green space around your home significantly impacts your property’s value and quality of life. Outdoor living has become essential for many families. Whether a buyer is searching for a lot that maximizes entertainment, complete with a spacious patio, or a personal garden sanctuary, adequate green space transforms a homesite into an extension of the home’s living area.

Select JTB Homes communities offer wider spacing between homes, creating natural buffers that enhance a sense of personal privacy while maintaining the community atmosphere.
