[Lennar Corp.] – Home builder Lennar Corp. said Tuesday it is ready to bring its “Next Gen” home-within-a-home to Lexington at River Village in Valencia on May 5.

Lennar has already seen tremendous interest from the public since they introduced this concept in other areas and is beyond excited to be the first homebuilder to bring this “never before seen” floor plan now to the Valencia and Santa Clarita area. Lennar has designed a home that allows extended family to live all together in one home – except with private and separate living spaces.

“What we have designed is different than anything else you have seen from other builders – these are not dual master suites or a casita,” said Greg McGuff, Division President. “Lennar’s next gen plan is literally a home within a home.”

The economy has dramatically contributed to the decision to build this type of product. Many aging parents have seen their retirement investments diminish during recent years and many college-age children are finding it necessary to move back home. With housing typically being the largest part of the monthly budget, moving in together is an option many are embracing. “The opportunity for families to share a mortgage makes a lot of economic sense for many families,” added McGuff. “Lennar’s Next Gen – The home within a home, is essentially two homes with one payment, making living together affordable, comfortable and flexible to your needs.”

The suite includes a separate entrance, living space, kitchenette, bedroom, full bath, stacked washer and dryer and intimate outdoor living space. Lennar designed this unique floor plan to be incorporated into the main home floor plan in a way that allows it to be a separate space but also offers direct access from the main house, depending upon the family’s needs.

Lexington is located at 22469 Flatwater Court in Valencia. For more information about Lennar’s NEXT GEN – The Home within a Home model at Lexington at River Village in Valencia, visit www.LENNAR.com.
