Single Story Availability in Calico Ridge

Calico Ridge has a healthy mix of single and two-story homes. The community developed during an era when builders still offered substantial single story floor plans, unlike many newer communities where one-level options are limited or premium-priced.

Typical single story homes here range from 1,800 to 2,800 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms. The larger lot sizes (quarter to third-acre) accommodate generous single story footprints that would be impossible on smaller modern lots.

What to Expect Price-Wise

Single Story Type	Typical Price Range	Square Footage
Entry Level	$350K - $500K	1,500 - 2,000 sq ft
Mid-Range	$500K - $700K	2,000 - 2,500 sq ft
Premium	$700K - $1M+	2,500 - 3,200 sq ft

Single story homes sometimes command slight premiums over comparable two-story properties due to demand. However, the price difference in Calico Ridge is typically modest compared to communities where single story inventory is scarce.

Features to Look For

When shopping single story in Calico Ridge, prioritize these features for long-term livability:

Primary suite location. Look for master bedrooms separated from secondary bedrooms for privacy. Many Calico Ridge floor plans offer split bedroom layouts.

Bathroom accessibility. Walk-in showers versus tub-only bathrooms make aging in place easier. Some homes have been updated with accessibility features.

Garage access. Direct garage-to-house entry without steps matters for mobility and convenience.

Open floor plans. Homes from this era vary. Some have more compartmentalized layouts that can be opened up with renovation.

Inventory Reality

With only 400 to 650 total homes in Calico Ridge, single story inventory at any given time is limited. You might see 3 to 8 single story options available, sometimes fewer in your target price range.

Patience matters. Set up alerts for new listings and be prepared to move quickly when the right property appears.

The Bottom Line

Calico Ridge offers better single story options than many Henderson communities, thanks to larger lots and the era of construction. Demand is strong, so expect competition for well-priced one-level homes.
