The typical drop down stairs is in the garage just in front of the garage door entrance into the laundry room. The typical opening is approx 20" x48". You will have a fair amount of storage space in the attic but BE AWARE you cannot store everything in an attic due to the extreme summer heat, so you have to be selective. For example Cardboard boxes wil last no more than 1-2 years because they will absorb moisture from the heat. Candles or even thin plastics will melt. This is also not a place to put clothes..potential insects. NOt good for luggage storage due to the high humidity. You also cannot fill this space to its maximum for you need to allow the roof vents to provide air circulation.
WE basically use it primarily for Xmas decorations....and things you can put in plastic storage boxes. BEST ADVISE ......clear out and weed out before you move.
ALSO for the Lantana. depending upon the type of roof, you will get more attic height with certain roof designs than others. Ask your sales person.
When we first moved in we changed the master bedroom and provided for 3 racks of storage..the top rack being for suitcases. WE added stoarge in the laundry room and built custom shelves and cabinets in the area off the laundry room. We also added storage racks from Sams in the gargae and a built work bench in the garage.
