Need a floor plan that can comfortably house multiple generations? Maybe you have a college-age son living at home, or a post-college daughter with a spouse and children. Or it could be you have an elderly parent or live-in nanny, and space is tight. You’re not alone. Multi-generational housing has been on a steady, even sharp, uptick for decades. According to a\u00a0PEW Research article<\/a>, the population of multi-generational households rose 75% from 1980 to 2008. A similar\u00a0PEW Research study<\/a>\u00a0showed that the percentage of 25- to 35-year-olds living in multi-generational homes had nearly doubled between 1980 and 2012, from 11% to 21.6%.<\/p>\n

Those are serious numbers, and they haven’t been lost on homebuilders. Multi-generational homes are a definite trend, with builders integrating larger, more flexible floor plans containing guest suites with all the modern amenities. All of which means there’s never been a better time to buy in the multi-gen market.<\/p>\n

Live-in suites, like the one in the Ivy plan<\/a> above, can be a great fit when looking for the extra space and amenities of a multi-generational housing floor plan while retaining the look of a single-family home. Integrated seamlessly with the rest of the floor plan, live-in suites can offer the conveniences of separate garage and front door entrances, full living quarters and options on amenities like kitchens and laundry rooms.<\/p>\n
