Welcome back, readers! Today, we’re diving into an exciting trend that’s shaping the real estate market in Kendall and the surrounding neighborhoods of Miami—multi-generational living. Whether you’re already familiar with this concept or just hearing about it, we’ll explore why this living arrangement is becoming more popular and how it’s being embraced by new buyers and developers alike. Let’s get started!

As Miami’s real estate market continues to evolve, one trend gaining significant momentum is multi-generational living. But is this really a new trend, or has it always been a part of Miami’s cultural fabric?

In areas like Kendall, where there is a large Latin and Hispanic immigration population, multi-generational living is not new. For many Latinx families, it’s a long-standing tradition driven by cultural values that emphasize staying close to family and sharing responsibilities, such as childcare and elder care.

Kendall Mutligenerational Homes  It’s common for parents, children, and even grandparents to live under one roof, pooling resources and supporting one another. This allows families to navigate life together while easing the financial pressures that come with homeownership, especially in a competitive market like Kendall and its surrounding neighborhoods.
Why Multi-Generational Living is Growing in Popularity
What’s new is how the Kendall real estate market is adapting to this cultural tradition. As home prices continue to rise, especially in desirable area like Kendall, more families are adopting multi-generational living as a solution to affordability challenges. Whether its adult children staying home longer or elderly parents moving in, this type of living offers several advantages:

1. Affordability: Kendall's home prices are steadily climbing. By pooling their resources, multi-generational families can afford larger homes in this desirable neighborhood without stretching their finances too thin.

2. Support System: Living together creates a built-in support system. Grandparents can help with childcare, while adult children can assist with elder care, making multi-generational living a practical solution for the entire family.

3. Larger Homes: Multi-generational families often need more space, increasing the demand for homes with additional bedrooms, separate living areas, and even in-law suites. In areas like Downtown Dadeland and Kendall, homes with flexible layouts are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to accommodate multiple generations while still offering privacy.

How Kendall's Housing Market is Adapting

Developers and builders in Kendall are taking note of this growing trend. New construction homes are now being designed specifically for multi-generational living, offering features like separate entrances, dual master suites, and private living spaces to ensure that family members can live together comfortably without sacrificing privacy.

For example, Lennar has recognized this trend with their Next Gen® series of homes, designed specifically for multi-generational families. These homes feature a “home within a home,” with separate entrances, kitchens, and living spaces that allow for both togetherness and privacy.

Meanwhile, other developers are focusing on building larger homes with 4-6 bedrooms to accommodate the needs of extended families. These homes are becoming more common in neighborhoods like Kendall, where families seek space without sacrificing proximity to the city.

This shift in the housing market means that homes with multi-generational features are in high demand, particularly in areas where families want to stay close but still maintain independence. These homes tend to retain their value and appeal to a wide range of buyers, making them a smart investment in Kendall and surrounding neighborhoods.

Is This the Future of Kendall’s Housing Market?

With housing affordability being a consistent concern, particularly in high-demand areas like Kendall and surrounding neighborhoods, multi-generational homes are likely here to stay. Whether its young adults moving back home or elderly parents downsizing and moving in with family, this trend represents a shift in how families approach homeownership.

I specialize in finding homes in Kendall and the surrounding neighborhoods that cater to the diverse needs of Miami’s families.

~ Willy and Gloria P.

Liz was the listing agent for a Miami property I called on and made an appointment to see . That's how it all started.I wasn't working with any agent and I told Liz I didn't want to commit to anyone. She stated she understood, nevertheless, she was relentless in keeping in touch with me. Finally, in one of her phone calls, Liz asked me if she was working hard to get my business ? I said yes, of course. Then she stated, "Imagine, what I am capable of doing in finding and negotiating for you in a tough and competitive Miami market?". That clinched it !

As a business man, one of the things that impressed me about Liz is is her negotiation skills, patience and cool under pressure.

Ms Liz Keneally was a angel sent. I was going through personal hardship. And having a hard time not only selling The property but with the result of impending foreclosure. Which at the time was a very difficult time in my life. And she came along. And got a contract within a week. And I have nothing but gratitude towards her and her team. That treated me and my children like family.
