Patio Homes in Wichita, KS
A patio home gives you single-level, low-maintenance living without feeling like a step down. Sharp Homes designs and builds custom patio homes across Wichita, most with zero-entry access and open main floors.
The basics
What Is a Patio Home?
A patio home is a single-level home designed for easy, low-maintenance living, usually on a smaller, well-planned lot. The name refers to the lifestyle, not the size: living on one level, spending less time on upkeep, and keeping the space you actually use.
Most Sharp patio homes feature zero-entry access, an open main floor, and covered outdoor space. The low maintenance comes from the house itself: one level, a right-sized lot, and less of it to look after.

Sharp Patio Home Floor Plans
These are the plans our patio homeowners start from most often, but the list is not the limit. Any Sharp floor plan can be built as a patio home, and dropping the floor trusses means it works over a basement too, so you get zero-entry single-level living with the full lower level underneath. Best of both worlds.

Straight answer
Do Patio Homes Feel Like a Downgrade?
No. The buyers who choose them tell us the opposite: a well-designed patio home feels like an upgrade, because every square foot is space they use. You trade stairs and upkeep for single-level ease, better finishes where they matter, and more time to enjoy your home.

Patio Home FAQs
What is a patio home?
A patio home is a single-level home designed for low-maintenance living, usually on a smaller, well-planned lot. It is about lifestyle rather than size: one-level living, less upkeep, and an efficient, high-quality floor plan. Most Sharp patio homes include zero-entry access and a covered outdoor space.
Is lawn care included with a Sharp patio home?
No. On the custom home side Sharp does not include yard maintenance, and we would rather say so than let you find out later. The HOA maintains shared greenspace and common areas; your own yard is yours. What a patio home does give you is less of it: a single level on a right-sized lot, so there is simply less to keep up.
Do patio homes have zero-entry access?
Most of our patio plans are designed with zero-entry access, meaning no steps at the entry. This makes them a strong fit for right-sizers and anyone who wants to future-proof their home. We confirm zero-entry details per plan and lot.
Are Sharp patio home communities age-restricted (55+)?
No. Sharp is not currently building in any age-restricted communities. You get single-level living among a mix of active neighbors, many still working or traveling, rather than a retirement community.
Do patio homes hold their value?
Single-level, low-maintenance homes are in steady demand from right-sizers, which supports resale. Because a Sharp patio home is a true custom home built to the same standards as the rest of our work, it competes on quality, not just size.
How much does a patio home cost to build in Wichita?
Cost depends on the plan, your lot, and your finishes. Sharp Homes sets healthy allowances and communicates cost throughout the build, not just at closing. Contact us for a patio home estimate tailored to your build.
Can I modify a patio home floor plan?
Yes. Every Sharp patio home is a custom home. Our in-house architect can resize rooms, adjust the layout, or change finishes so the plan fits your lot and your life.
