Anyways, a lot of people don't seem to like hi-ranches but I find most to be pretty large and have a good utilization of space.

Which style do you consider to be the most desirable?

If you've worked in real estate, which seems to be the most desirable housing choice among your clientele?
Lg. Ranch. No steps, no one above you, no one below you. I see my parrents (in there 70's) stuggling to get up those steps.

A ranch is like a trailer with the wheels taken off.
