This is one of the most obvious benefits of single-story homes. A single-story home means no stairs, making it safer when you have kids or living with your senior parents. You don’t have to worry about getting your aging parents up and down the stairs.
In addition, if you have kids, especially toddlers just learning to crawl and walk or rowdy children, stairs can become a safety hazard.
What’s worse, kids don’t really understand the dangers that a staircase presents. With a single-story home, you can have peace of mind and don’t have to worry about someone getting injured going up and down the stairs.
Furthermore, most adults also love a no-stair floor plan. They don’t have to carry laundry baskets and heavy furniture up and down the flight of stairs.
