David Weekley Homes and Toll Brothers are now offering villa-style homes in Crosswinds at Nocatee. These innovative 1- and 2-story villas range from 1,635 to 2,450 square feet, providing a unique opportunity for families to live next door to each other while maintaining their own separate homes. Enjoy the best of both worlds—close proximity to loved ones with the independence of owning your own home. This modern approach to multi-generational living allows families to stay connected, share resources, and support each other, all without sacrificing personal space.

Here are 4 reasons why families find this setup so desirable:

1. Convenient Access to Support and Assistance One of the most significant advantages of living next to family is the convenience of having immediate access to support and assistance. Whether you need a helping hand with a home project, someone to watch the kids for a few hours, or just a chat over coffee, your family is just a few steps away. This not only provides financial savings but also gives children the chance to grow up surrounded by family, learning from the wisdom and experience of their elders.

2. Stronger Family Bonds Living next door naturally leads to stronger bonds and closer intergenerational relationships in a time when people often live far from their extended families. It’s an opportunity for grandparents to be more involved in their grandchildren’s lives, for adult children to give back to their aging parents, and for everyone to feel a greater sense of belonging and connection. The ease of visiting each other frequently without the need for long drives or planned visits allows for more spontaneous interactions and shared experiences. 

3. Shared Responsibilities and Cost Savings Living next to your family opens up opportunities to share responsibilities and reduce costs. For example, you can coordinate efforts to maintain both backyards, from lawn care to home repairs, making it more efficient and cost-effective. You might also share resources such as tools, gardening equipment, or even Wi-Fi, leading to further savings. In addition, shared responsibilities can extend to everyday tasks like cooking or running errands in Nocatee Town Center. By pooling resources and dividing tasks, both households can benefit from the time and money saved.

4. Creating a Sense of Community Living next to family helps create a small, close-knit community, fostering a strong sense of belonging and togetherness. This can extend beyond your immediate family to include neighbors, creating a network of support and friendship. The sense of community that comes from having family nearby enhances your quality of life and adds an extra layer of joy and security.

Buying a home right next to your family offers a wealth of benefits that blend the advantages of close family ties with the independence of maintaining your own household. Crosswinds is one of three final opportunities to purchase a newly constructed home in the master-planned Nocatee community. To review the Top 5 benefits of living in Crosswinds, click HERE.
