Multi-Generational Homes via Multi-Suites and Accessory Dwelling Units

Multi-generational homes are increasingly meeting the diverse needs of today’s homebuyers. These housing options offer flexibility and affordability, accommodating extended families under one roof or providing separate living spaces for aging parents, adult children, or renters. 

The rise in multi-generational living is driven by cultural shifts, economic factors, and the desire for closer family ties. Accessory Dwelling Units or ADUs, in particular, enhance property value and offer potential rental income, making them an attractive feature for buyers seeking long-term investment and versatility in their living arrangements.

What is a “Multi-Suite” Home?

A multi-suite home is a residence with multiple bedrooms that each have their own connecting private bathroom or a home that features a primary suite with a luxury bath and a junior suite that is equally luxurious.

Another type of suite refers to a bathroom connected to a bedroom. It is perhaps most common in the primary bedroom, but any bedroom can have an ensuite. Some new homes even feature multiple ensuites so that everyone has their own space with a connecting, private bath. Campbell Homes offers many plans that are or can be multi-suite homes, including the Edison, Emerson, Hawthorne, Newton, Kipling, Kirkland, Plum Creek, Raintree, Steinbeck, and Astra.

Why do I need a multi-suite home?

A multi-suite home is a coveted element in today’s real estate and construction market. The reasons for this are multifold. First, having multiple bedrooms with private baths makes hosting guests easy and stress-free. They will enjoy having the privacy of their own bathroom connected to their bedroom. You can rest assured that guests have a safe, comfortable place to relax. A multi-suite home is also perfect for families with teenagers and young adults who seek privacy, without having to  worry about the condition of the bathroom that they otherwise would share with guests! It gets even better if there is a second space they can use for their own living room.

 

What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary residential unit on the same lot as a primary home. ADUs can be detached or integrated into the main home, and typically include their own kitchen or kitchenette, bathroom, and sleeping area. They can be built as a free-standing structure, above a garage, or as an addition to the main home. ADUs feature their own private entrances rather than being accessed from inside the main home, although most can be accessed that way for easy entry to the main part of the home.

Having an ADU takes multi-generational living to the next level, as guests will love having a completely private space with their own entry, allowing them to come and go without disturbing others, or to get up early and fix their coffee and breakfast within their own space. Depending on location, these suites can also be rented out, which makes them even more appealing. 

Another great use of a private ADU is for the adult child who isn’t quite ready to leave the nest. They need their own space and “starter” experience paying rent. An ADU is perfect! An ADU is also a great solution for aging parents who need some assistance or companionship, but are not ready to give up their independence. 

Campbell Homes currently has one floor plan, The Edison, with an attached ADU. Look for more plans in the future!
