Features Millennials & Boomers Want in a New Home

By: One Loudoun

Generational differences play a big role when it comes to home shopping.  Baby Boomers may seek certain home features that Millennials wouldn’t consider, and vice versa.  At the same time, while the two are still a generation apart, many of their preferences are actually quite similar.

AOL Real Estate spells out these preferences that Millennials and Boomers want to see in their next home, and despite it all, it comes as no surprise that One Loudoun caters to both!

Location
We’ve heard it before – location is everything!  And luckily, One Loudoun couldn’t be located in a better area.  In the ‘heart of Loudoun County’, our community sits perfectly at Route 7 and the Loudoun County Parkway.  With one of the most affluent counties in the nation, an abundance of employment opportunities, excellent schools and Washington D.C. just minutes away, this area truly has it all.

AOL Real Estate also concluded that both Boomers and Millennials are flocking to metropolitan areas where they can find “theater, arts, cultures and fine dining.”  At One Loudoun, our residents can have a little bit, or a lot, of everything!  Our mixed-use community provides a taste of culture, entertainment, diversity and of course, a variety of restaurants.

Style
Maybe one of the biggest differences in preference between the two generations has to do with the appearance and style of a home.  Millennials are more likely to find a space that’s casual and practical.  Boomers prefer a place that acts more as a retreat, with luxury features and plenty of room.

With the various single-family home models available at One Loudoun, both Millennials and Boomers will find a home they love.  Our homes, brought to us by Miller & Smith, provide plenty of square footage with upscale features, but are still practical with a grocery store, shops and restaurants just steps away.

Amenities
Community amenities are also equally as important to Boomers and Millennials, as is accessibility and walkability.  While preferred activities may differ, the bottom line remains: both want to live in an amenitized community that offers more.

Here at One Loudoun, we strive to provide our residents with everything they need to have fun.  With an events calendar packed full of things to do, the Downtown Plaza with fountain and interactive entertainment, a community recreation center with pools and fields, an amphitheater, central park and so much more, you won’t believe all that you can have access to when you live at One Loudoun.

Boomers and Millennials may be a generation apart, but their tastes in home location, style and amenities are more alike than different.  Whether a Boomer or Millennial, anyone can find all they’re looking for in a new home and community at One Loudoun.  Our new single-family homes are selling fast – this is an incredible opportunity to move into a one-of-a-kind community!
