Selecting the right floor plan is one of the most important decisions in your home-buying journey. At The Coves on Lake Wylie, Taylor Morrison offers 10 carefully designed floor plans—but which one is right for you?

Understanding Your Needs

Before comparing specific plans, assess your family's priorities:

Current and Future Space Requirements

  • How many bedrooms do you need today?
  • Will you need a guest suite for aging parents or frequent visitors?
  • Do you work from home and require dedicated office space?
  • Are you planning to expand your family?

Lifestyle Considerations

  • Do you entertain frequently? (Consider formal dining and open layouts)
  • Are outdoor living spaces important? (Look for covered patios and deck options)
  • Do you need separation between living and sleeping areas?
  • Will teenagers need their own space? (Lofts and bonus rooms add flexibility)

Making Your Decision

Step 1: Narrow by Bedroom Count

Start with your minimum bedroom requirement to eliminate plans that won't work.

Step 2: Evaluate Primary Suite Location

Decide if you prefer main-floor or upstairs primary suite—this significantly impacts daily living.

Step 3: Consider Special Features

Identify must-haves: guest suite, basement potential, tech space, game room, etc.

Step 4: Budget and Value

Larger isn't always better. Consider:

  • Upfront cost differences
  • Long-term utility and maintenance costs
  • Resale value in your target market
  • How much space you'll actually use

Step 5: Visit Model Homes

Nothing replaces walking through the actual floor plans. Schedule your tour to experience the flow and feel of each design.
