Meeting the Demand for Multigenerational Homes: Modern Living™ Suites

Emerald floor plan multi-generational suite

Clients looking to house multiple generations under a single roof? Well, they aren’t alone. According to the Pew Research Center, the number of multi-gen households has quadrupled since the 1970s, accounting for 18% of all U.S. households as recently as 2021.

Multigenerational households can take a variety of forms, including young adults returning to the nest, older family members requiring additional support and live-in caregivers or nannies. These in-demand homes offer all the features of traditional floor plans, plus a separate suite that allows the resident to remain close to other members of the household while still maintaining an independent lifestyle. They can also help residents save money that would otherwise go toward rent, mortgage payments and/or assisted living fees.

We’re proud to offer an inspired array of multigenerational homes at many communities across the country. Let’s check out three of our most popular multi-gen floor plans…
