Simple Rectangular House Plans That Fit Any Lot
If you have been struggling to find a home that fits your unique lot, a rectangular plan may be the answer that you’ve been searching for. These plans are often great for narrow lots and neighborhoods where land is at a premium. Our rectangular homes can be designed to take up minimal lot space yet still offer maximum comfort. Plus, with tons of styles to choose from, your rectangular plan can fit any neighborhood requirements.
A great example of a stylish yet practical home, THD-9542 (‘Golden Moon’) is an affordable contemporary design. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an attached garage, this plan makes an awesome family home. The Golden Moon shows how a rectangular house plan can offer a lovely design while taking up relatively little space.
As you search for the right home plan for you and your lot, take note of any limitations that your lot or neighborhood may pose. Rectangular homes have some of the most minimal footprints available, so they can fit where other homes may not, but they may still need to meet HOA style rules!

Accessible Comfort in a Compact Design
For many reasons, homeowners seek accessibility. However, most homes lack the accessible features that many people need. For aging occupants, or those with limited mobility, an accessible home can be hard to come by. If you look, many rectangular house plans are engineered to be accessible, so everyone can enjoy them.
Take THD-7002 (‘Rochester’), which comes with a wheelchair ramp in the garage to improve accessibility. Large open rooms mean this home is easily navigable. Plus, a bedroom suite on the first floor makes it great for in-laws. The wide staircase can accommodate a stairlift, if needed. And with 5 bedrooms (or 4 and a large bonus) and 2,897 square feet of living space, this home is enjoyable for the whole family.
The simple, compact designs of rectangular house plans helps them be accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Even if your dream plan doesn’t include some of the necessary additions to make it accessible to you or someone else, feel free to talk with your designer about modifications. We are always happy to help make your dream home possible!
