Are Single-Family Homes Only For Families?

August 6, 2024
Luxury Single Family Rental Home In Houston, TX

Today, many things are made for a single use: you don’t stand in a chair, sleep on the sidewalk, or eat with a pen. But names can also be deceiving: we don’t play football (in America) with our feet, watch miniature concerts on our wristbands, or make Single-Family Homes just for families.

While Single-Family Homes (SFHs) were initially created as an affordable option for housing families, today, the traditional name means that the property contains freestanding structures not attached to homes owned by others. Compared to townhomes, apartments, and condos, SFHs offer more space, privacy, and comfort than other living spaces on the market. While these are all spectacular advantages if you and your family want to live in one, HomeSite’s single-family homes are also excellent for roommates, couples, and singles, too!

You and Your Roommates’ Perfect Residence

It’s no secret that living in city apartments has become increasingly expensive over the past decade, and having a roommate is almost a necessity as a young adult. There’s also another issue– city apartments can be small. If you and one, two, or even three roommates want to live in one, it’ll feel extremely cramped, and you’ll have to learn to live without privacy.

There’s a better solution, however, and that is renting a single-family home. In most cases, there’s not even a marginal price difference, and a SFH has many perks you won’t find at any apartment. 

We love our roommates. They’re great company to be around, and they help reduce the cost of living! But sometimes, they can really get on our nerves. Sharing a bathroom with someone messy is a near-universal experience and undeniably frustrating, and don’t get us started on those paper-thin walls that force you to hear everything your roommate is listening to. These are problems you won’t experience when you rent a single-family home with HomeSite, because SFHs like 1407 Acorn Meadow St. have 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, giving you and your roommates the space you need to live how you prefer. HomeSite’s homes are professionally-built, so put the frustration of paper-thin walls in your past!

A Single’s First Step…

It’s true that apartments are perfectly suitable for single living, but renting with HomeSite provides you with benefits that go beyond just extra living space.

Enjoy not worrying about if your car will get broken into in a public garage– you can park either on the street or in your own private two-car garage. Have a significant other you want to spend some alone time with? You’ll have plenty of space and privacy to not be bothered by anyone else you’re living with. Homes like 15033 Alkay St. provide plenty of greenspace on your property if you’ve always wanted a pet, but owning one was unrealistic while living in a city apartment.

… And A Couple’s Next One

You may be looking to finally move in with your significant other, but you’re not ready to own a home and become stuck in one place for years on end. Strike that balance with a single-family rental home, which not only gives you the benefits and amenities of your own home, but also relieves you of the often overbearing responsibilities of paying utility bills. Furthermore, you and your significant other will gain the invaluable experience of living in a house while having the resources provided by HomeSite to fix any problem that will inevitably arise.

Many people strive to achieve the goal of living in a beautiful home, and there’s no better opportunity to do just that than with HomeSite. Whether you’re moving into Houston from out of state or into a different neighborhood here, HomeSite’s Single-Family Homes give you a beautiful environment, plenty of space, and the community needed to make you feel right at home– because you are.
