Multi-Generational Homes

The essence of a home is not just in its brick and mortar but in the memories and bonds it fosters. With the rising popularity of multigenerational homes, families in Oregon and Washington state are discovering the joy of living close to their loved ones without compromising on space or privacy.

True Built Home, with its innovative Home Plans in Oregon and Home Plans in Washington state, offers homes designed for this very purpose.

Why Choose a Multi-Generational Home?

Modern families are evolving. The desire to be near loved ones, combined finances for greater economic stability, or the sheer joy of having grandparents, parents, and children under the same roof, are driving families towards multigenerational living.

True Built Home recognizes this shift and has crafted home plans that offer private spaces for each member while fostering unity.

Spotlight on Our Multi-Generational Home Plans:

• Richland Home Plan: Space, comfort, and functionality define the Richland home plan. Designed to cater to families that yearn for both community spaces and personal retreats, this house features two master suites, open living areas, and modern amenities. The Richland stands out as a perfect home, balancing both communal and private spaces.

• The Warren: Majestic in its design and sprawling in its expanse, The Warren offers a blend of tradition and modernity. 

With two master suites, one on each floor, it ensures ease of access for all family members. Attention to detail, a three-car garage, and ample living spaces make it an ideal pick for families looking for a spacious abode.

• The Wisteria: A distinctive design that offers the essence of two homes in one. The Wisteria, spanning 2843 square feet, gives the vibe of a duplex with the convenience of a single-family home. 

With an attached ADU apartment, it offers a perfect space for extended family or even as a rental option. Its versatile design positions it as a top choice among our Home Plans in Washington state and Oregon.

Benefits of Multi-Generational Living

Stronger Family Bonds

Living under one roof fosters closer relationships, creating opportunities for daily connections. Whether it’s sharing meals or supporting each other, a multi-generational home strengthens family ties.

Financial Savings

Sharing expenses for housing, utilities, and maintenance makes multi-generational living more economical. Families can pool resources to afford larger homes that suit everyone’s needs.

Future Flexibility

A well-designed multi-generational home grows with your family. Whether welcoming a new member or providing space for aging parents, these homes adapt over time.

Smart Design Features for Multi-Generational Homes

Separate Living Areas

Our multi-generational home plans include features like private entrances, separate kitchens, and individual bathrooms. These ensure every family member has their own space.

Accessibility Options

Designs often include first-floor master suites, wide hallways, and other accessibility features. These details are ideal for aging parents or family members with mobility challenges.

Shared Spaces for Connection

While privacy is essential, shared spaces like open-concept kitchens and family rooms encourage togetherness. These areas are perfect for gathering without feeling cramped.

Multi-Generational Living Trends

Discuss the growing popularity of multi-generational homes:

• Highlight how economic factors, such as rising housing costs, are driving families to live together.
• Mention cultural factors, where some traditions emphasize caring for elderly parents at home.
• Provide statistics on the rise of multi-generational living, if available, to add credibility.

Environmental Benefits of Multi-Generational Homes

Living together can also be eco-friendly:

• Fewer homes mean reduced energy consumption and a smaller carbon footprint.
• Shared utilities like heating and cooling systems can lead to greater energy efficiency.
• Families can also consider adding sustainable elements, like solar panels or energy-efficient appliances.

The Role of ADUs in Multi-Generational Homes

Expand on how ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) are transforming these homes:

• Explain the financial benefits of ADUs for rental income.
• Show how ADUs can serve as independent spaces for aging parents or college students returning home.
• Highlight how local zoning laws, like those in Oregon and Washington, make it easier to add ADUs.

Additional Considerations for Multi-Generational Homes

Privacy and Independence

While living together offers many benefits, it’s crucial to maintain a sense of independence. Designing spaces that allow for privacy ensures that each family member feels comfortable and respected.

Future-Proofing Your Home

Consider future needs as your family evolves. Features like wider doorways, step-free entrances, and adaptable rooms can make the home suitable for all ages and abilities.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Shared outdoor areas like gardens, patios, or courtyards provide additional spaces for family gatherings and relaxation, enhancing the overall living experience.

Steps to Get Started With Your Build

Provide a simple guide to start building a multi-generational home:

1. Define your family’s needs and priorities (e.g., privacy, accessibility).
2. Choose a reputable builder experienced in multi-generational designs.
3. Work on the customization options to future-proof the home for evolving needs.

Choosing the Right Home Plan

Selecting the right home plan is all about balancing your family’s current needs and anticipating future changes. Consider factors like privacy, shared spaces, and flexibility when deciding on a design.

Think about the number of bedrooms and bathrooms your family will need, as well as how much shared space you prefer. Plans like the Richland and Wisteria offer excellent options for both togetherness and independence, making them ideal for multi-generational living.

Focus on features that enhance daily comfort. First-floor master suites, separate entrances, or kitchens for ADUs are popular elements in multi-generational homes. These features ensure everyone has their own space while remaining connected under one roof.
