You can tell when the east valley real estate market is picking up. The new home builders are coming back into the market. I stopped into the models of a new home builder in east Gilbert looking for multi-generational homes that offer a casita, in law suite or two master bedrooms. I was pleasantly surprised by what I found, especially in one floor plan that is extremely versatile. If a buyer is willing to wait, the house could be customized to include a downstairs and upstairs master and a casita / guest suite downstairs. The casita would include a separate outside entrance where the guest suite access is from the house.
Attractive Gilbert Location
Located in east Gilbert, parks and amenities are located within a short distance. The Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch is located right next to the regional library. The first floor plan to the right shows the guest suite which can include a bathroom in place of the library. A casita with an outside entrance can also be included instead of the one car garage. The total square footage of the house is 3,577 sq.ft. Other nearby attractions include Freestone Park, Santan Village, and Big League Dreams. Close proximity to the Superstition freeway is also an added advantage.
The second story without modification offers a game room and three bedrooms. The can be altered to add another bedroom or a second master bedroom with a large walk in closet and generous master bathroom.

CQ Press released its annual City Crime Ranks and Gilbert ranked as Arizona’s safest city and 24th safest nationwide. The ranking was based on data from 6 categories reported by local law enforcement agencies during 2008.
This information can be invaluable to those families that find themselves in the situation where they are caring for elder parents and raising their own children. A recent study by Communispace reported that over 20 million Americans find themselves as part of the “Sandwich Generation“; simultaneously taking care of aging parents while raising children and/or teenagers. This population demographic will continue to grow as people live longer and recent economic developments force couples to become multi-generational caregivers. Multi generational or extended family housing needs will therefore also increase.

Phoenix homebuyers seeking out guest quarter and in law suite homes
Recent research predicts that one in three baby boomers expect to have an aging part move in with them within the next 5 to 10 years. One factor contributing to this demographic is the fact that people are living longer. In the 1930′s, the average life expectancy was 67 years old. Now people are living 15, 20 or 25 years into retirement. Assisted living or nursing homes arrangements can be expensive or families choose the alternative of having their parents live with them. These factors have made extended family housing more common throughout the country.
