Do you dream of a home that fosters connection while respecting everyone’s need for space? This dream has become a reality for many families thanks to the trend of multigenerational living that continues to grow.

As the name suggests, multigenerational living means having three or more generations residing in the same household. Think adult children moving home, which became common with the boomerang generation (those between the ages of 18 and 34 in the early 2010s) and has continued for those young adults not yet financially stable.

It also includes “reverse boomerangers,” or aging parents moving in with adult children. These aging Boomers are often not physically or financially independent enough to continue living on their own yet aren’t ready to transition to a care facility. 

This isn’t just a trend, though – according to Pew Research, 18% of the U.S. population (or 59.7 million people) lived in multigenerational households in 2021. The reasons are many: financial benefits, built-in childcare and a desire for stronger family bonds. But how do you create a home that caters to everyone’s needs? At Traton Homes, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities of multigenerational living. That’s why we offer a variety of floor plans with flexible spaces designed to foster togetherness while ensuring everyone has their own haven.

Here are just a few of our floor plans that feature flexible living options ideal for multigenerational families:

• Abney Plan: Spanning over 3,000 square feet, this plan boasts five bedrooms and four full bathrooms across two stories. Suitable for large families, this plan offers a study as well as a guest bedroom with an adjacent full bathroom on the main.  Upstairs offers ample loft space that can act as a media room, office or den, depending on your family’s needs. 

• Downing Plan: This two-story home features four bedrooms and three full bathrooms across 2,845 square feet of living space. The perfect fit for families of all sizes, the Downing plan also offers the option to transform the flexible space on the main level into a fifth bedroom and features can’t-miss appointments, including a flexible loft space. 
• Largo Plan:  The ultimate place to live life like a vacation, the Largo Plan, available at Magnolia Bay Estates in Freeport, Florida, highlights four bedrooms and three full bathrooms all on one level. A large, bright family room is the perfect place to create memories, while the luxurious owner’s suite is tucked away at the rear of the home for added privacy. 
• Sherwood Plan: This expansive five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home includes a bedroom with a full bathroom on the main as well as an office and a huge open kitchen, dining and family room. Upstairs, there is plenty of space for everyone, featuring an expansive owner’s suite, three additional bedrooms and a versatile loft.

This community places residents just minutes away from Canton’s diverse lineup of shopping and dining destinations, including the popular Mill on Etowah. Searching for an opportunity to soak up the Georgia sun? Nearby recreational favorites include the Golf Club at Bradshaw Farm and Woodmont Golf Club. The community also offers easy access to Hwy 20, Hwy 140 and I-575, making it easy to travel to nearby hotspots.
