Many desirable locales come with tight lots, but don't worry—there are plenty of narrow house plans made to address them! By stacking spaces up and/or stretching them back, you can get the square footage you want within a compact width. House Plan 8857 is 40' across and 40' deep without the back deck, and it manages to offer 2,509 square feet and parking for two thanks to a drive-under garage. It has three bedrooms and boasts shared living space on all three levels!

If you have a slope, work with it! Homes for sloping lots offer plenty of desirable features like walkout basements and raised outdoor living spaces that create great views. You get both with House Plan 8850, a contemporary design with 1,104 square feet and two bedrooms on the main level. Remember that you can always finish the basement for more! Our designs come with both finished and unfinished basements, so come find the right setup for your needs.
