When homeowners look for a new home, they usually have a lot of boxes to check. A great location offering convenience to shopping, dining, and family activities. Employment opportunities nearby. A great school system. And don’t forget the home itself… a home that’s both timeless and trendy, spacious yet affordable. There’s so much to consider that it can be overwhelming. That’s why we’re excited about Clifford Glen, a neighborhood coming soon in the Triangle, located in Garner, NC. Get ready, because it has it all.

Live near it all

The entire Triangle area is booming, but Garner in particular has spiked in popularity and as a result, an incredible amount of convenience comes to homeowners in communities like Clifford Glen. Homeowners will be able to enjoy the ideal convenience of White Oak Crossing just 2 ½ miles away. Shopping destinations include Target, PartSmart, T.J. Maxx and specialty stores like Dick’s Sporting Goods, Starbucks, Cabela’s, and much, much more. If you’re hungry, there’s an incredible amount of dining options, ranging from nation-wide favorites to local spots like Kaze Steakhouse, La Cocina Mexican Restaurant, TGI Fridays, and beyond.

Yet convenience goes beyond White Oak. Downtown Raleigh is only 15 minutes away, where event venues, incredible dining, museums and more are waiting for you. On the way downtown, you’ll find the Raleigh Farmers Market, one of the main hubs where you can get the freshest produce, food, and crafts.

You will also find Smithfield, NC just down the road, where the Carolina Premium Outlets offers a long, long list of shopping destinations such as Carolina Pottery, Carter’s, Nike, Harley Davidson, and anything else you could imagine. Smithfield also offers others amazing dining and shopping opportunities including DeWayne’s, a great spot for home goods and seasonal shopping and activities, plus local restaurants where you can discover the flavor of the Carolinas.

Last but not least, we are perfectly positioned for family day trips to the area’s big spots as well as nearby nature reserves and parks. No matter what you and your family like to do, it’s possible.

In this recent article for The Wall Street Journal, Katy McLaughlin reports on why more families are turning to multi-generational homes, like Lennar’s Next Gen® – The Home Within a Home®.

Theresa “Tree” Hale, a 70-year-old retired paralegal, didn’t particularly want to move from her home of 40 years. But in July, she and her husband, Ron Hale, closed on a newly built house about 20 minutes away in Tolleson, Ariz. Her motive: The home was builder Lennar Corp.’s Next Gen design, featuring a first-floor suite with its own bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom. It would be the perfect place for Ms. Hale’s mother, 95-year-old Thelma Hall Williams, to live.

Michele Lerner reports on the growing popularity of multi-generational homes and how they can work for your family in this recent article for The Washington Post. 

Lennar began building its Next Gen homes about a decade ago during the financial crisis to help families who needed to take care of their aging parents and to make homeownership an affordable option for families to share expenses, says Jon Jaffe, co-president and co-CEO of Lennar. Today, between 5 and 10 percent of all Lennar homes include a Next Gen suite.

“Our multigenerational homes were created to help families deal with the financial challenges of aging parents and to help make the family connections that are missing in our society today,” says Jaffe. “We’ve found that these multigenerational homes are a game-changer psychologically that are making a profound difference to make it easier for families to live with their loved ones.”

Approximately 20 percent of Americans, about 64 million people, live in a household with two or more adult generations, according to a 2018 study by Pew Research Center.

“The separate entrance is an important feature and allows for as much or as little interaction between family members as they want,” Jaffe says. “It provides tremendous flexibility.”

Flexible floor plans are also a priority for many buyers who anticipate evolving family configurations and want to be prepared with the privacy and space to accommodate every family member.
