Life doesn't happen in isolation. The most meaningful moments unfold when generations come together, sharing experiences and supporting each other through every stage of life. At Greenspire at Windsor Lake, we've created a community that recognizes this truth, offering designer-crafted homes that work beautifully for young professionals, growing families, empty nesters, and even multi-generational households, all within the same neighborhood.
The Rise of Multi-Generational Living
Multigenerational home buying has reached an all-time high, with 17% of homes purchased last year being for multigenerational households. This is a fundamental shift in how families are choosing to live and support each other. Since the 1970s, the number of Americans living in multigenerational households has quadrupled, growing from 7% in 1971 to 18% in 2021.
The reasons are compelling: 36% of homebuyers cite cost savings as their primary reason for purchasing a multigenerational home, while 25% do so to take care of aging parents. But beyond the practical considerations, there's something deeper at work. Families are rediscovering the benefits of proximity—the peace of mind that comes from knowing help is nearby, the joy of grandparents who can be part of their grandchildren's daily lives, and the shared experiences that strengthen family bonds.
Whether you buy a home to share or buy homes in the same neighborhood, Windmill Homes offers options for anyone looking to stay close together.
Young Professionals: Starting Strong
For young professionals and DINK (dual-income, no kids) couples, Greenspire offers the perfect balance of quality homes and community connection. Our designer-crafted homes feature multiple exterior elevations, open floor plans ideal for entertaining, high-end finishes including quartz countertops and Samsung stainless steel appliances that reflect your success, and smart home technologies that fit your lifestyle.
What sets Greenspire apart for this demographic is location. You're not isolated in a suburban bubble—you're part of a walkable community where you can stroll to downtown Windsor for dinner, enjoy morning coffee at a local café, or take evening walks around Windsor Lake. Research shows that adults in walkable neighborhoods are more likely to interact with neighbors and develop stronger community connections, creating the social networks that enrich professional life.
Growing Families: Room to Flourish
Young families find everything they need at Greenspire. Our homes are designed with family life in mind— open kitchen concepts that keep parents connected to children, and outdoor spaces perfect for play. The garden-level lots offer something special: basements filled with natural light and windows with full 9ft basement height, creating bright spaces for playrooms, home offices, or guest areas.
But it's the community itself that makes the biggest difference for families. Children who grow up in walkable neighborhoods are more likely to develop stronger independence skills. At Greenspire, kids can safely walk to the lake, ride bikes through the neighborhood, and develop the confidence that comes from navigating their community independently.
The location provides access to excellent schools while maintaining that small-town feel that makes childhood special. Parents appreciate being able to walk downtown for family dinners or community events, creating shared experiences that don't require extensive planning or driving.
Empty Nesters: Freedom Without Compromise
Empty nesters are discovering that Greenspire offers the best of both worlds: low-maintenance living without sacrificing style or space. Our ranch-style homes eliminate stairs while providing elegant, open living spaces perfect for this life stage. The designer-crafted details like Delta fixtures, quartz countertops with eased polished edges, and adult-height vanity cabinets mean you're not settling for "builder grade"—you're upgrading to the quality and sophistication you've earned.
The walkable community aspect becomes even more valuable in this stage of life. Walkable neighborhoods offer convenience, health benefits through increased physical activity, and cost savings by reducing transportation needs. Morning walks around Windsor Lake, easy strolls to downtown restaurants, and the ability to age in place within a supportive community make Greenspire an ideal choice for this generation.
Multi-Generational Families: Together at Every Stage
Perhaps most remarkably, Greenspire serves families who want to be near each other without living on top of each other. We're seeing grandparents purchase homes in the same neighborhood as their adult children, creating informal family compounds that provide independence and togetherness simultaneously.
Multi-generational living doesn't always mean sharing a roof—sometimes it means sharing a community. At Greenspire, we've seen families purchase multiple homes within walking distance of each other. Grandparents can help with school pickups, families can share holiday dinners without anyone having to drive across town, and children grow up with grandparents as an active part of their daily lives.
This arrangement offers practical benefits too: shared childcare responsibilities, elder care support when needed, and the financial advantages of family members helping each other. Among multigenerational buyers who cite caring for aging parents as their reason, 29% also have children under 18 in the household, showing how these arrangements support multiple generations simultaneously.
The Greenspire Advantage: Something for Every Stage
