Which Floor Plan is Right for Me?

Whether you are an empty nester seeking single-level living or a growing household needing extra room, we have a solution. The versatile design options from Gerstad Builders ensures your home evolves with you.

The choice between a ranch and a two-story home depends on your specific stage of life! Ranch plans offer the convenience of single-level living, which is ideal for those who prefer to avoid stairs. Two-story designs provide the extra square footage and privacy often desired by larger families.

We currently have several new model homes available for touring to help you visualize these layouts:

• Genesis: Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,743 square feet located at The Trails of Dawson Creek community.
• Journey: Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 2,346 square feet located at the Bailey Estates community. This home offers two additional flex rooms for office space, bedrooms or other additional space your family may need.
• Truman Quick Move-In Model: Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,744 square feet located at the Trails of Dawson Creek community. This home uniquely offers a study for additional space. Plus, a third-car garage adds more space!
