No matter how big or small your family is, it\u2019s always nice to have a home that best suits your household’s needs and lifestyle. Let\u2019s explore some family friendly home design options to consider for your next move:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-generational Suite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have adult children, aging parents, or long-term guests residing in your house, a multi-generational suite is a great way to provide them with their own living space while also improving your home\u2019s overall flow and functionality. When you’re shopping our communities, look for homes that offer Modern Living\u2122<\/a> Suites, including the Dominic<\/a>, the Ammolite<\/a> and the Darius<\/a>. Select plans even include a kitchenette and\/or a coffee bar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus\/Flex\/Teen Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s video games or puzzles, dedicating a space in your home for the younger members of your household to hang out and play can be a great way to keep the kiddos entertained and keep unwanted toys or blocks out of other parts of the house. When the children move out, you can then convert these rooms<\/a> into home gyms, offices, game rooms, etc. The Hemingway<\/a> and the Presley<\/a> are examples of Richmond American plans that offer a bonus room while the Augusta<\/a> and the Sapphire<\/a> offer teen rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formal Dining Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From sharing a meal from your favorite take-out restaurant to hosting a holiday feast with all the trimmings, having a room dedicated to eating together is a great way to bond with your family. Given how busy and device-centric modern life can be, taking the time to unplug and break bread with your loved ones in a regular setting can go a long way toward enhancing your family dynamic and building lasting memories for the whole clan. We have several floor plans that offer elegant dining rooms, including the Celeste<\/a> and the Seth<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convenient Laundry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Numerous Richmond American homes offer second-floor laundry rooms, which can make completing this time-consuming chore a little easier as it cuts down on lugging clothes up and down the stairs. Floor plans that offer this handy feature include the Coronado<\/a>, the Pearl<\/a> and the Moonstone<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
