Home » 5 Of The Most Stylish Types Of Homes To Build For 2023

As a custom home builder in California, we know the benefits of a custom home better than anyone. However, we’re also able to keep a pulse on the industry in a way that very few others can.

Today, we’re going to share the five most stylish types of homes that we’re getting more and more requests for going into 2023.

5 Most Stylish Home Types in New Construction

While there are many styles of homes to choose from, the following are the most requested by our customers:

1. Modern Rustic

Modern rustic home styles are in high demand. Many homeowners want a home that melds the contemporary farmhouse with a cabin-style home, and that’s what the modern rustic offers.

So far, we’re getting a lot of requests from customers searching for a home builder that offers modern rustic style homes, which feature:

Open floor plans
Exposed architectural elements
Large windows
Clean lines
Unfinished metals

If you’re not a fan of the modern rustic style home, you may like the next style on our list.

2. Contemporary

Flat-roofs, exposed beams and gables were a major design point between the 1950s and 1970s. However, the trend is back, with more future homeowners asking us to build them homes that:

Are single story
Work off the surrounding landscape
Incorporate tall windows and natural lights
Blend multiple materials and textures together
Have an open design

Contemporary homes are back in demand in southern California, and we’re ranking this as the second most popular home style in 2023. However, we’re also seeing an uptick in ranch-style homes.

3. Ranch

Ranch-style homes are designed to imitate rural Western ranches. Modern designs often incorporate open floor plans and help connect owners to the outdoors.

Ranch homes typically have:

Patio spaces outdoors
Low-pitch rooflines
Large windows
An “L” or “U” shape structure in California

It’s also common for ranches to have finished basements and an attached garage. California ranches are usually low to the ground and designed to blend in with nature.

4. Traditional

Traditional homes can have a mixture of characteristics from different architectural styles. They often have:

Two stories
Covered entries
Front-facing gables
Symmetrically spaced windows
Simple rooflines
Modest details

Traditional is the most popular style home in the U.S., and it’s a timeless choice that will maintain its curb appeal for decades to come.

5. Mediterranean

Mediterranean-style homes were extremely popular from about 1918 to around 1940. Recently, we’ve seen a resurgence of this style. The Mediterranean homes that we see today are based on the Mediterranean Revival architectural style. They can follow Italian or Spanish design and may feature:

Stucco exteriors
Open floor plans
Low-pitched, tiled roofs
Arched doorways and windows
High ceilings
Balconies
Heavy wooden doors

Given California’s Mediterranean-like climate, this style of home is a fitting choice. You deserve a home style that’s perfect for you and your family. At SDS Homes, we work to bring your ideal home to life.

  Sean / SDS and his team (shout to to Tom!) was great to work with.  Prompt to give us a quote (his proposal was detailed), and prompt to start and finish.  They didn’t cut corners and even suggested layouts that were better than ours.  We are so in love with our bathroom and hope to work with them again with other projects in the future!  Thank you Sean and Tom!

  We can't say enough about Sean and his team at SDS. We used them to remodel our brand new tract home: expanding a closet, painting, swapping out some doors, etc. Sean and his team gave us the utmost care. We had several contractors coming and going, and BY FAR, Sean's team was the most professional, clean, efficient and friendly. I loved working with Tom and Jorge and all the guys. They even assembled a couple of consoles I received from Wayfair for my parents. Now we are getting estimates for an epic backyard from Sean. Can't wait to get going! O! And when they said they would be here at 8am they were always right on time. Thanks guys!

  SDS Home’s did a complete remodel of the guest bathroom at my house. The crew that worked on my project was very professional and I’m extremely happy about the end results. I also think the project cost was very fair. I’m very happy that I hired SDS Home’s for this project.

  I am very impressed with this company. When I called, I actually got to speak to the owner directly and he answered his phone. He was very informative about permitting, plans and city ordinances. He is always willing to go above and beyond. My colleagues have used him and WOW! He is really good! You will not be disappointed! Give him a call!
