There’s something special about spending time outdoors at home. As the days get longer and the weather warms up, more families are rediscovering the simple joy of sitting and relaxing in their own yards. But here’s the question: are you a front porch or a back deck family?
The front porch is a classic American tradition. It's where neighbors stop to chat, kids ride bikes up and down the street, and a rocking chair and a glass of lemonade can turn any afternoon into a peaceful escape. Front porches are perfect for people who enjoy being part of the neighborhood buzz; welcoming visitors, waving to passersby, and enjoying the rhythm of daily life from a cozy, shaded spot.
Back decks, on the other hand, offer a more private retreat. They’re ideal for weekend barbecues, morning coffee in pajamas, or unwinding after a long day. Surrounded by your backyard, a deck creates a personal outdoor oasis where you can host friends, soak up the sun, or stargaze in peace. With the right setup, maybe a pergola, string lights, or a fire pit, a back deck becomes an extension of your home’s living space.
And if you’re dreaming of adding a new outdoor area or upgrading your existing one, we’re here to help. A home equity loan from First Western could be the key to creating your perfect porch or dream deck. It’s a great way to invest in your home and enjoy more of what you love about it.
Whatever your style, take a moment to enjoy the fresh air, the people around you, and the comfort of home. Front or back, there’s no wrong place to sit a while.
