New construction homes are built for flexibility. Retirees, growing families, and single buyers can thrive in the same plan because layouts and flex rooms adapt to their needs.
Why flex matters
Toll Brothers: “Floor plans intentionally designed with a number of flex-space options so that our home buyers can use the space as they wish, often for multiple purposes.”
MI Homes says buyers want quiet work areas, kids’ play zones, home gyms, and multigenerational spaces – all made possible with flex space.
Options buyers want
KB Home: “While open floor plans continue to be popular... a flex room gives buyers the ability to modify their floor plan to include an art studio, game room, bar, extra bedroom, home office, or gym – along with the open living spaces they want.”
Landsea Homes offers LiveFlex upgrades like enhanced lighting and soundproofing so these rooms stay private and peaceful. Allen Edwin Homes customizes flex rooms with accent walls and built-ins to make them personal.
Blue Mountain Communities, Legend Homes, and HHHunt Homes affirm the usefulness of flex space. Their home plans have transformative potential built into the home.
Using every inch
Builders are also turning underused areas into functional rooms.
Tri Pointe Homes: “We decided to... merchandise [a storage space] as a ‘Zoom Room.’ After COVID, we saw an increased trend... not only a dedicated office space, but a space to take their virtual meetings, tucked quietly away. The Zoom Room seemed to be the perfect solution.”
Small homes, big flexibility
Even townhomes and smaller houses get flex features. Flex space within townhomes allow homeowners to enjoy the home features they want, without having to force their needs on a rigid space.
The bottom line
New construction homes use flexible layouts and smart space planning so homeowners can tailor their space to their life – not the other way around.
