Our empty nester house designs have all sorts of features and are available in all architectural styles, so you can find the perfect home for wherever you decide to plant your roots.

Whether the kids just left or you're retiring soon, our experts are ready to help you find the empty nester floor plan of your dreams! Contact us by email, live chat, or calling 866-214-2242 today.

Frequently Asked Questions


What is an empty nester house plan?

An empty nester house plan is one that would make a great choice for after the kids move out. These designs allow you to prioritize your own needs within a modest amount of space that's more manageable and affordable to maintain. You can really enjoy your golden years when you aren't tied down to more house than you need!


What features are common in empty nester house plans?

Empty nester house plans are usually on the smaller side and have fewer bedrooms than you'd need for the whole family. Some may only have the master suite, while others have an additional bedroom or two for guests, hobby space, etc. Open floor plans that maximize every square foot and offer greater accessibility also feature prominently in these designs. If you're concerned about accessibility, you can always modify a home to meet ADA standards, too.


What are the advantages of empty nester homes?

The main advantages of an empty nester house plan include reducing living expenses and maintenance needs, so you can stress less and spend more time doing what you love in your later years. Homes that are suitable for empty nesters are always in demand—they often make great first-time homes, too—so they offer great return on investment as well.
