Home Plans to Retire in Style

As more people get ready to retire, they are finding that downsizing their home does not mean downgrading.  Many small house plans offer the amenities retirees have become accustomed to.

The type of home you choose for your retirement will depend on your type of retirement.  Home plans with two master suites allow guests to visit and maintain a sense of privacy.  For the semi-retired, a home office will allow greater freedom to work around your schedule and telecommute.   House plans featuring Universal Design standards will ensure that your home remains accessible and convenient for years to come, possibly allowing you to remain in your home longer instead of residing in an assisted living community.

Retirees have never had more choices when it comes to where to live.  Retirement in urban areas is becoming more popular due to higher gas prices and a desire to be close to cultural attractions and medical care.  Choosing a small house plan affords the homeowner the opportunity to take advantage of a small or irregular lot that has been overlooked by a larger builder. 

A recent “Top Places for Retirees” survey listed such diverse cities as Houston, Phoenix, Washington DC, and Indianapolis.  Each city offers its own recreation options, cultural attractions, and climate to suit the way you want to spend your newfound freedom.

Customer Testimonials:

House Plan Purchased: SHPCOM-1364-1

"The building of the SHPCOM-1364-1 home is going great, I appreciated all that your company has done to help me in the process. Job well done..."

Robert Jackson

House Plan Purchased: SHPCOM-18002-1

"My wife and I were at our wits end trying to find the right house plan for our family. Youd think with all the thousands of house plans out there that we could easily find the right plan for ourselves. We found our way to another broker site and still couldnt find the right design. Then in desperation we went back to the site and found two plans that were close to what we wanted. The two plans were from StockHomePlans.com, but neither was exactly what we wanted. The other house plans site got us in touch with StockHomePlans.com and soon their helpful staff were able to blend the two designs into the perfect design for us. Our Foundation was just poured yesterday and we cant wait to watch our dream home come to fruition. Thanks Stock Home Plans.com for your expertise and help!"

House Plan Purchased: SHPCOM-2851-1

"We had been looking for the "perfect" home design for quite a while, and were beginning to think that our ideal plan didn't exist. At about that time, we were referred to Stock Home Plans.com, who had large collection of stock house plans, all of which could be modified to fit our exact needs... We ending up selecting the SHPCOM-2851 house plan, and Stephen and his team worked with us to understand our exact modification needs. No matter how particular I could have possibly have been, the group of people at Stock Home Plans.com was willingly ready to take care of my every issue and need to the fullest extent. Thanks so much to the whole gang for making my dream house design come true."
