Benefits of a Ranch Home

Midland has several hundred ranch homes to choose from.  They have been built over the last 50 years to accommodate our growing community.

The ranch home is the most popular style home among its architectual peers (two story, multi-level, 1.5 story) because it has many types of buyers.  The first-time buyer likes the large selection, low entry price and accessible maintenance.  Families also enjoy the benefits plus the functionality of a ranch home, with a full size basement.  This effectively doubles the useable square footage available to accommodate the additional stuff children require.

Retirees are also attracted to ranch homes.  They don't require the leg work mandated by two-story & multi-level homes with bedrooms on the second level.  The same goes for empty nesters who no longer need a large home with children spreading their wings and leaving the nest.  Some seniors choose a ranch as a condo alternative and simply hire out the lawncare and snow removal.

As a result of all the buyer interest, ranch homes in good condition and priced right for their size and location usually sell quicker in Midland.
