In response to the changing demographics of both families and households in the United States over the past decade, Lennar Homes created a solution for multigenerational families searching for homes that accommodated their needs. This demand for “two homes under one roof” and the perfect balance of privacy and togetherness resulted in a new type of housing:The Home Within A Home®.
It is the perfect solution for multigenerational family and has become quite popular in this niche over a short period of time. For the family you’re raising and the family that raised you. Lennar is the first production homebuilder to offer a solution for the multigenerational family, living under one roof. The Home Within a Home® suite provides both privacy and togetherness for today’s modern family—featuring a separate private entrance, bedroom, bathroom, laundry, eat-in kitchenette and living room.
Lennar’s The Home Within a Home is not just for multigenerational families anymore. The Home Within a Home has become a staple in the host of new home designs throughout Lennar communities. Not just because multigenerational families adore it as a solution, but also because a substantial number of other homebuyers (not looking for a multigenerational living solution) adore it for the sheer number of options it creates.
