What is a patio home?
A patio home is typically a small-lot, single-level (or primary-on-main) home with low-maintenance landscaping — often part of a community where the HOA handles lawn care and exterior upkeep. The appeal is simple: comfortable, accessible space without the yard work and stairs of a larger house.

- Downsizers and retirees who want to age in place without stairs.
- Busy professionals who want a lock-and-leave lifestyle.
