We strive to meet the needs of our homebuyers at every stage of life, including first, move-up, move-down, and multigen homes.
Pacific Communities’ SmartGenSM homes and communities are made for the modern family, fostering togetherness and meaningful relationships across all generations and enriching the everyday living experience. Visit our different communities to experience a variety of intergenerational lifestyle options – from private suites and separate entrances within a home to a multigenerational housing mix within a master-planned community.
The need for multigenerational housing is apparent due to key demographic shifts as a result of factors including cultural or ethnic influences, mobility of young adults, a maturing Baby Boomer population, and housing affordability. Statistics have shown that that this trend is continuing to grow – ” A record 57 million Americans, or 18.1% of the population of the United States, lived in multigenerational family households in 2012, double the number who lived in such households in 1980 (Fry and Passel, 2014).”
To compliment Pacific Communities’ time-tested Smart By DesignSM space planning philosophy, our thoughtful approach to designing each home has encouraged us to think even bigger. The movement toward achieving livable and sustainable neighborhoods through a more inclusive design has spurred the development of our SmartGenSM Lifestyle Communities and Plan offerings.
