Frequently Asked Questions
What is a drive-under house plan?
A drive-under house plan features a garage beneath the main floor plan. These homes are made for sloping lots and the garage can have front-, side-, or rear-entry, so there are options no matter which way your land slopes.
What are the advantages of a drive-under house plan?
Homes with drive-under garages are made to adapt to tricky sloping lots, allowing you to make the most of an often less desirable, and less costly, piece of land. But the savings don't stop there! The garage is part of the basement, which condenses the home's footprint and roof—the most expensive parts of building. Placing living areas above the garage also boosts them for better views, so many people select drive-under house plans to bring sights inside.
What are some common features of a drive-under house plan?
Drive-under house plans are diverse—they come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and layouts, so you'll find great options whether you have an interior, corner, or through lot. In addition to the garage in the basement level, many also offer some finished square footage and may include a mudroom, family room, etc. downstairs. The living spaces are boosted above the garage and the street, so they often have larger windows to maximize views.
