Lennar, the leading homebuilder in the nation, has responded to the market’s demand for multigenerational living with the innovative Next Gen® – The Home Within a Home®. Learn more about Lennar’s Next Gen® homes in the NBC Dallas clip below.

Multiple homebuilders in North Texas are responding to a growing demand in the national housing market: multigenerational housing.

Lennar Homes expects to sell around 125 of its Next Gen® houses this year in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The Next Gen® homes feature a fully-equipped suite built into them, designed to provide a private living space for an adult family member within the confines of the larger, family home.

“It’s a home within a home. A fully functional home within a home,” said David Grove, the Division President for Lennar Homes in DFW.

Lennar offers nine different Next Gen® plans in 16 different housing developments in 13 different municipalities in the region. They range in price from $350,000 to $600,000.

Love is in the air, but that doesn’t mean you have to create extravagant plans to show your special someone how much they mean to you. Sometimes the best Valentine’s Day plans are the ones you simply spend at home—in the Lennar home you love and with the people that matter most to you. Here are just a few sweet ideas on how to spend Valentine’s Day without having to leave your front door.  

DIY Valentine’s Day decor & cards.

You don’t have to wait until the big day to add some love to your home. From heart shaped wreaths for your front door constructed out of coffee filters, to a burlap heart picture pieced together from all those extra buttons you’ve been hoarding, there are a variety of clever and cost-effective ways to get in the spirit. Additionally, skip the trite and store-bought cards and make your own. You’ll discover just how creative you can be, plus it might awaken the wordsmith in you! 

Eat in, not out.

The last thing you need on the most romantic night of the year is a headache from all the work it takes to make Valentine’s Day plans. Avoid the hassle that comes with eating out: making a reservation weeks in advance, hiring a babysitter, driving through traffic plus the exorbitant prices and packed restaurants. Instead, put your upscale Everything’s Included® kitchen to work and show your significant other your culinary prowess.   

Entertain!

Your home is designed for entertaining with a gorgeous kitchen that flows to the dining room and great room effortlessly, so make this Valentine’s Day a party and invite some of your closest friends over for a fun-filled evening. It’s also a great excuse to show off your beautiful home!

Go dancing – at home.

Move the couches to open your living area, put on some music and dance with your significant other! Recreate your wedding dance or a special moment, relish in the memories and reflect on how far you’ve come together.

Turn it into a family night.

Valentine’s Day lands on a Thursday this year, so include the whole gang and make it a family night. Grab some popcorn, snacks, watch a movie and play some board games after.

Scavenger Hunt.

You love your home, but do you know the best hiding spots? Create a scavenger hunt for your significant other and watch them run around the house! Feel free to invite the kids to partake in this exciting activity, too!

Stargazing.

What could be more romantic than gazing at the stars at night? Wait for the kids to go to bed, lay a blanket out on the grass and watch the stars under the moonlight.

The Next Gen® home at Shamrock Village will come with an attached private suite that features its own separate entrance, living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and attached garage. The Next Gen® suite is able to function as a home within itself, but also shares an interior, lockable door that connects it to the main home, allowing for as much direct access or privacy between the two homes as is desired.

Next Gen® suites have become a popular home for aging parents, grown children in college, millennials looking to save for a down payment, or grandparents who help with childcare.
