Redefining the Meaning of Home

Over the past few weeks, most of us have spent an unprecedented amount of time at home and what the word home means, has been completely transformed.

Home has always been our safe place, but now our homes are so much more. They’ve become classrooms for our kids, where student desks have been replaced by kitchen tables and computer screens our connection to teachers, classmates, extended family and friends.

Homes have become the workplace for many. A good Wi-Fi connection and a private space for a conference call are now essential. If you didn’t have a home office prior, likely there’s a space in your home you’ve reorganized to create one.

Home has taken the place of restaurants, become where we celebrate birthdays, holidays and where lifelong memories are being made. They’ve become our movie theaters, happy hours and recreation areas. With dining and coffee tables filled with puzzles, board games and crafts like never before.

Our kitchens are now filled with the scent of fresh new recipes, daily family meals and weekend brunches. Backyards and living rooms transformed into private gyms. Pets thrilled by the abundance of company and attention.

Purchasing a home has always been one of the most important purchases a person will make in their lifetime. A concept that feels more evident now than ever, because it’s likely we’ll never look at what we need in a home the same.

We build homes for families at every stage of life, including mutligenerational households where parents raise kids with the parents that raised them. Families are closer than ever, but everyone needs their space – which is why the Next Gen® – The Home Within A Home® design provides the ideal layout. The suite could be a home office, place for the kids to play, classroom or a home for our extended families.

Home, now more than ever, is becoming reimagined and redefined. We’re here to answer all your new home questions. With 26 active communities located from Olympia to Marysville, we have homes for every type of family available.
