So, most production home builders focus on these types of homes for their many advantages to homeowners.
There are many advantages to buying a single family home in the Wheeling area. At the top of the list is privacy. You will not have shared walls and most homes will have a private yard for the kids and pets to enjoy. Unlike a condo or townhome, with a new single family house you can generally pick your preferred elevation style and your yard decor. That said, some Home Owner Associations (HOAs) in the Wheeling area can be restrictive or may require approvals if you want to modify your structure or even change your paint color. The other big advantage in a single family home is storage space. It is rare for a condo or townhome to have ample storage space as compared to a new single family home.
If you have a family, prefer to have more room to spread out, or just want a yard for your kids and pets, most of the single family homes in the Wheeling area are designed with you in mind.
