How park homes bring different generations of your family together
Residential park homes provide the perfect setting for meaningful family connections. Unlike traditional housing, our park homes at Arden Parks are designed with community and togetherness in mind, while still respecting everyone’s need for independence.
The layout of our residential parks encourages natural interaction between family members. With shared community spaces and amenities, different generations can easily spend quality time together without feeling crowded. Grandparents, parents, and adult relatives can gather for meals in spacious dining areas or enjoy conversations on private patios.
Our Leedons Residential Park features an indoor heated swimming pool, games room, and tennis court where family members can engage in activities together. These shared amenities create natural opportunities for different generations to bond through shared experiences and hobbies.
The surrounding natural environment also plays a vital role in family bonding. Our parks are nestled in the picturesque Worcestershire Countryside, offering beautiful walking paths where families can explore nature together. These peaceful settings provide the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversations and creating lasting memories.
Many of our residents tell us that moving to a residential park home has strengthened their family relationships. With dedicated spaces for gathering and connecting, families find themselves spending more quality time together than they did in traditional housing arrangements.
Financial advantages of shared park home ownership for families
One of the most compelling reasons families choose multi-generational park home ownership is the financial practicality. Sharing the investment across family members makes luxury park living more accessible while providing excellent value.
When family members share ownership of a residential park home, the initial purchase becomes more manageable. With new park homes at Broadway Park starting from £215k and at Leedons Residential from £250k, dividing this investment among family members can make luxury living surprisingly affordable.
The ongoing financial benefits include:
- Reasonable monthly fees – Pitch fees (£193.77 at Broadway Park and £246.58 at Leedons Residential) cover maintenance of communal areas and facilities, eliminating unpredictable expenses
- Lower utility costs – Park homes feature efficient design and modern BS3632 construction standards, ensuring excellent insulation and energy efficiency
- No stamp duty – Park homes are exempt from stamp duty, representing substantial savings compared to traditional property purchases
- Reduced council tax – Most park homes fall within Band A, the lowest council tax band
- Lower maintenance expenses – Modern construction and manageable size make park homes easier and less expensive to maintain
- 10-year warranty protection – New homes include Gold Shield/Platinum Seal structural warranty for peace of mind
Creating lasting family legacies through park home communities
A residential park home offers more than just a place to live—it creates a foundation for family traditions and legacies that can span generations. Many of our residents find that their park home becomes a cherished gathering place where family stories and memories take root.
The community aspect of park living adds a unique dimension to family legacies. At our parks, residents become part of a close-knit community of like-minded individuals. This social network extends beyond individual families, creating a supportive extended family atmosphere that enriches everyone’s experience.
Ways our park homes foster family traditions include:
- Providing perfect venues for seasonal celebrations and holiday gatherings in our community halls
- Establishing regular family activities like bowling matches, swimming sessions, or countryside walks
- Creating a consistent gathering place where family members know they can always reconnect
- Building relationships within a supportive community that extends beyond immediate family
The stability of park home living also contributes to legacy building. Unlike holiday homes that see occasional use, residential park homes serve as permanent residences, providing a consistent gathering place where family members know they can always reconnect.
What should families consider when purchasing a multi-generational park home?
When evaluating park homes with multi-generational needs in mind, several key factors deserve careful consideration to ensure the home serves all family members well.
- Accessibility features – Look for level access, wider doorways, and bathroom facilities that accommodate varying mobility needs as family members age
- Space planning – Ensure the layout (maximum size 50ft x 22ft) supports both togetherness and privacy, with adequate room for family gatherings
- Location advantages – Consider proximity to doctor surgeries, shops, and public transportation for independence without personal vehicles
- Community amenities – Evaluate facilities that appeal to various interests and age groups, from swimming pools to games rooms, tennis courts, and bowling greens
- Social calendar – Review organized activities like book clubs, tai chi classes, games afternoons, and dance classes that create opportunities for family engagement
Frequently Asked Questions about Multi-Generational Park Home Ownership
Can younger family members under 50 live in residential park homes?
Park homes are privately owned with residential site licences for permanent living year-round. Families can arrange ownership among eligible family members (aged 50+), though it’s important to note that sub-letting is not permitted. The home must be the primary residence of the owners.
What makes park homes suitable for multi-generational use compared to traditional houses?
While mortgages are not granted for park homes, and we don’t offer financing directly through Arden Parks, families often find creative solutions through shared investment among family members. Some choose to sell existing properties or use savings to make these purchases.
What long-term considerations should multi-generational families keep in mind?
Families should consider future accessibility needs, potential changes in family dynamics, and how the park home will accommodate changing requirements over time. The supportive community environment often becomes increasingly valuable as residents age, providing both independence and connection.
Finding the right residential park home can bring your family closer while respecting everyone’s need for independence.
