Our picks: Ranch-style homes starting at $379,000
Best known for its one-story, elongated design, traditional ranch-style homes typically offer affordability and open floor plans, which are both characteristics suited for expansion. There are several variations of this style, including the split-level ranch, which offers multiple levels of living space, and a raised ranch, in which the front door opens to a stairwell leading to the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms.
