Built on our Smart By Design℠ philosophy, SmartGen℠ living suites go beyond traditional floor plans by offering versatile spaces that enhance comfort, connection, and long-term value.

What Is a SmartGenSM Living Suite?

SmartGen℠ is Pacific Communities’ modern approach to multigenerational living. These thoughtfully designed homes feature flexible living suites that includes private bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas, with select plans offering separate entrances.

By balancing privacy with togetherness, SmartGen℠ homes support independent living within a shared household, all within well-planned, thoughtfully designed communities.

SmartGen℠ living suites make it easy for families to live together comfortably. Aging parents, adult children, or extended family members can enjoy private living spaces while remaining connected to the main home. Family members can enjoy support and care without compromising their own space or independence.

2. Work from Home

The flexible suite can be transformed into a dedicated home office or professional workspace. With separation from the main living areas, it creates a quieter environment ideal for remote work, creative pursuits, or running a home-based business.

3. Built-In Rental Income Potential
