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:
