With multi-generational living growing in popularity—adult kids returning home, and aging-in-place a growing preference for many older adults—larger homes with guest or in-law suites and first-floor primary suites top the must-have list of features for many homebuyers. The master-planned community of Summerlin® is teeming with options for those with extended live-in family or frequent visitors who desire the ability to scale up or down their living spaces as needs dictate.
According to Senior Director, Master Planned Community Marketing for Summerlin, Jenni Pevoto, flexibility is key for more expansive homes that offer designs and floorplans to meet the unique and changing needs of families.
“Many of today’s homebuyers prefer first-floor primary bedrooms and suites for a number of reasons,” Pevoto said. “They make great guest rooms; they offer easy access; and they can be easily converted into office space or other uses. Select floorplans are ideal for buyers seeking forever homes with the anticipation they will age in place and remain in the comfort of their homes as long as possible.”
