What is a Lennar Next Gen® Home?

Lennar has introduced its Next Gen Home, which addresses the needs of aging parents. Many of us face a dilemma. Mom and Dad are still in great shape and can live mostly independently but would benefit from having their family nearby. They want their own space, and we support them in that. If you know, you know!

What Defines a Next Gen Home?

Lennar's Next Gen homes are essentially two homes in one. They feature a main living area for the primary family and an attached private suite - perfect for grandparents, adult children, or long-term guests. Here's what you get:

• Private Suite: Includes a separate entrance, kitchenette, living area, bedroom, and bathroom.

• Flexibility: The suite can serve various purposes, from an in-law suite to a home office or guest suite.

• Convenience: Ideal for keeping family close while allowing independence and privacy.

Why Choose a Next Gen?

Dallas is a city of growth and opportunity, where family dynamics are becoming more complex, with extended family members often living together. Next Gen homes address this need perfectly by:

• Offering space for everyone without compromising on personal space.

• Facilitating family care and support, especially for aging relatives.

• Providing a smart home setup with The Connected Home by Lennar™, ensuring your home is updated with modern technology.

Benefits Beyond Multigenerational Living

While primarily designed for families, Next Gen homes offer:

• There is a potential for rental income if the family doesn't use the suite.

• An ideal setup for remote work with a dedicated office space.

• Enhanced property value due to the unique design and functionality.

Choosing Your Next Gen Home in Dallas

I am not a fan of Lennar Homes. It's not a secret that they treat real estate agents with disdain. I can put my feelings aside and credit them for creating a great solution to an emerging need. More builders should follow what Lennar is doing with their Next Gen product, and some builders are doing just that.

My best advice is to get with your local REALTOR® and ask for a tour of local models with a 2nd master suite. You might be surprised by what is available in our local market.

1. Explore new home communities in Dallas to find the right fit.

2. Visit model homes to experience the layout and features firsthand.

3. Consider how the private suite can be adapted to your family's current and future needs.

With all these advantages, Next Gen homes are not just houses; they're a lifestyle choice for families looking to balance togetherness and independence.
