When looking at detached homes for sale in Del Ray Alexandria VA, one way to keep your home prices lower is to consder a bungalow styled home.

Many bungalows in Del Ray have been expanded to include more functional living space such as a family room, an extended kitchen, additional bedrooms, and a rear porch.

What distinguishes a bungalow from other detached homes is that no matter how you look at a bungalow, they all have classic character.

Unlike the colonials, Del Ray bungalow styled homes usually bear the following characteristics:

• Front steps to a front porch or covered entry
• Bedrooms on the main level (a base framed bungalow was likely a two-bedroom home)
• V-pitched roof with an attic, or converted bedroom, with a steep stairway from the main level

Because bungalows are smaller in comparison to traditonal colonial homes, they are usually offered for sale at lower prices.  Bungalows for sale in Del Ray can range from the high $400’s, indicating a possible need for renovation, to the $800’s depending on upgrades, additions, and lot size and features.

Many Del Ray homebuyers specifically seek out bungalow styled homes because of their more economical size and square footage.  You may not want all of the space that usually comes with a traditional colonial, but still prefer to be fully detached and on a level yard.

Duplex Home In Del Ray

Are you looking at homes for sale in Del Ray, and know you don’t want a condo?  The single-family detached homes may be a bit too big and too pricey.  The townhomes or attached row-houses are ok, but you don’t want an interior unit and you want the extra yard that comes with an end unit.  You should expand your search criteria to include duplex homes.

Duplex Styled Home In Del Ray

I can only think of pros when it comes to describing the benefits of owning a duplex.  For starters, every duplex is an end unit.  That means instead of having a back yard that runs parallel to your home like that of an interior unit townhouse or rowhouse, you have yard space around your home from front to back.

Alexandria VA homebuyers love natural light, and with a duplex you’ll likely have more windows because of one additional exterior wall.

You won’t have to feel sandwiched because with a duplex home, you’ll have only one neighbor sharing a common wall.

Del Ray Duplex Home

Do you love outdoor entertaining? Well, with a duplex home, you’ll have the option of creating more outdoor living space for you and your guests.

The home pictured here has a side screened porch.  This is usually not an option when it comes to interior unit townhomes because of the limited outdoor space.

We all know that parking can be an issue, and many homeowners appreciate the added convenience and security of parking closer to the front door.

Del Ray Duplex For Sale

 This beautiful duplex home offers in-front parking.  Some duplex driveways can fit up to two cars, leaving the street parking to guests.

If you’re a Del Ray homebuyer and you’ve been excluding duplex styled homes in your Del Ray home search, you could be missing out on extra privacy, a larger back yard, more windows, and in-front parking.  Reconsider and expand your criteria, don’t have a complex with a duplex.
