Edward and Christine Leydon weren’t looking for a new home. The couple and their three children were happy in the Gilbert house they bought in 2009.
But the Leydons had been thinking about where their 16-year-old son with special needs would live after he graduated from high school. They want him to have more space and independence while still being close to them.
Then last summer, they found a new home built with an apartment tucked inside. The multigenerational house, from Lennar, is just five minutes from where they live now. So their son Jordan’s commute to Higley High School will be the same.
