It\u2019s become increasingly common in recent years. In fact, over 60 million Americans reside in multi-generational households, according to a 2016 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2016\/08\/11\/a-record-60-6-million-americans-live-in-multigenerational-households\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pew Research Center analysis<\/a>. Whether it\u2019s an aging in-law in need of housing, a college student saving on room and board or a recent graduate returning to the nest, there are numerous reasons to consider this popular\u2014and remarkably practical\u2014living arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let\u2019s take a look at the eye-catching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/california\/sacramento-new-homes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caroline floor plan<\/a>, available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/california\/sacramento-new-homes\/sacramento\/greyhawk-point\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greyhawk Point<\/a> in the desirable Vineyard area of Sacramento, California. This two-story, 3,180 square foot home offers two distinct main-floor suite options, each composed of a comfortable bedroom, a generous living room, a private bath and an optional kitchenette. You\u2019ll notice that the suite at the front of the home even includes a separate entrance so your loved one is free to come and go as he or she pleases! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/california-caroline-floorplan-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10464 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/california-caroline-floorplan-1.png\" alt=\"Caroline floor plan\" width=\"679\" height=\"894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/california-caroline-floorplan-1.png 679w, https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/california-caroline-floorplan-1-228x300.png 228w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBenefits of buying a multi-generational home may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Additional square footage. <\/strong>Even if a guest suite isn\u2019t in use, having one adds to the total square footage of your home, which can impact its future resale value.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flexibility<\/strong>. You don\u2019t even have to offer your in-law suite to a family member. Instead, use it to accommodate an au pair or turn it into a fitness area, home theater, craft room or simply a space to relax and recharge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Potential savings. <\/strong>A home with a dedicated guest suite may cost less to purchase and maintain than separate residences for you and your family member.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Convenience.<\/strong> Having a trusted relative nearby can come in handy if you need someone to run an errand or help with small children.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Family bonding. <\/strong>Sharing living space with family can help you build and strengthen your relationship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Whether you\u2019re searching for a single-family home or multi-generational home, visit <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>RichmondAmerican.com<\/em><\/a><em> to find the perfect floor plan for you! <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multiple generations living under a single roof.
