My family has almost 20 steps on the staircase, but maybe for the next house I would consider the ranch style. I've seen my family uncles/aunts have issues with stairs in their own homes and I worry about mobility in the future too.

We live in a two story house and when my children were young, they would take those stairs two at a time.  At 69, I can still go up and down relatively easy.  Sometimes I feel some twinges in my legs and knees, but I actually go up and down the stairs several times at once when I am looking for a good workout.  It doesn't take long for that type of exercise to get my heart pumping!  I need to do it more often.

I live in a townhouse apartment. There are 14 steps on the stairs.  I go up and down them at least a dozen times a day, sometimes with pain, but most times without.
I have arthritis in both knees, and I had moved my computer downstairs so I wouldn't have to climb the stairs so often.
I moved it back upstairs after about 3 months. I found that not climbing the stairs every day was making the arthritis worse.

I have one flight of stairs at home which is 12 steps.  Walking up and down my steps give me good exercise and I need all I can get.   :)

We only have a few steps to get in and out of the house, but they don't bother my knees.  My parents have issues with them when they visit, though.

We only have a few steps, and I would not mind a lot of steps.

I have a very hard time climbing stairs because of my arthritis and fibromyalgia.  Fortunately, our house only has three steps at the front porch and at the carport.  Our washer and dryer is in the basement, but my wonderful husband does the laundry and brings it upstairs for me to put away.

I have fibromyalgia and arthritis as well. I have to be carefulbwith walking the stairs and everything else.

I only have one flight of stairs between the first and second floors in my home but I go up and down them all day long without experiencing any difficulty or pain. I am sorry to hear you have health issues that make stairs difficult for you.
