The true ranch. Everything on one level, a crawl space or a slab underneath. The rarest kind in Golden and the one downsizers fight over.

The walkout ranch. Main-floor living upstairs, a finished basement that opens to the yard below. Twice the square footage, one set of stairs you never have to use.

The raised ranch and the bi-level. Listed as ranch style, but the front door lands on a half-flight of stairs. Fine for some buyers, a deal-breaker for a walker or a wheelchair. The photos show it; a Kenna agent flags it before you drive out.

New construction ranch plans. Builders across the Front Range sell ranch plans with a primary suite, an office and a zero-step entry, and they list them under different names. We search the plans, not the names.

Steps at the doors. Zero-step entry from the garage or the front door is what makes a ranch work for the long run. Count the steps at every door.

The bathroom. A walk-in shower, a 36-inch door and room to turn around. A ranch with a tub-shower combo is a ranch with a remodel in its future.

The HOA. In Golden, ranch homes in patio-home and 55+ communities come with an HOA that handles the exterior and the snow, which is the point for many buyers. Read what is covered.
