Here are some reasons Oregon homeowners choose multi-generational floor plans to build their homes.

Our Multigen Home Plans
We offer a wide range of home plans designed to suit multi-family living — from ADUs and duplexes to larger homes with dual primary suites. Many of our floor plans can be combined and are customizable to accommodate your unique family arrangement and lifestyle.
In-Law Suites and Dual Primary Suites
At HiLine Homes, we understand the value of privacy and independence in a multi-generational home. Many of our multi-generational home plans are thoughtfully designed with dual primary suites, offering separate, spacious bedrooms with private en-suite bathrooms. These layouts often place the suites at opposite ends of the home, providing comfort and autonomy for extended family members living under one roof.
Discover Home Plans with Dual Primary Suites
Our Home Plan 3464H is a standout example—complete with two primary suites, three additional bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a covered outdoor living space, a large garage, and a dedicated media room. Whether you’re planning for multi-family living or seeking a multi-generational housing solution in Oregon, this plan offers the flexibility and space your family needs.
Separate Living Spaces Close Together
Duplexes and other home plans provide private entrances, separate kitchens, and living spaces, allowing family members to live autonomously without disrupting the main household.
Get a 2-Story Duplex with 3 Bedrooms Each
Our Home Plan 3322 allows for three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a one-car garage for each unit. Each primary suite has a walk-in closet, with a flex space adjacent on the second level. You even get a covered porch (78 sq ft) to enjoy the outdoors. Through this home plan, separate families, such as immediate family and grandparents, can live side by side in harmony.
Shared Common Areas: Balancing Privacy and Togetherness
Customizable layouts can be tailored with shared common areas for connection, such as shared kitchens, living rooms, and dining rooms, to encourage daily interactions and foster stronger family bonds.
Get a Dual Primary Suite under One Roof
Our Home Plan 3072 boasts an open layout, combining the living and dining room area, with dual primary suites on separate floors.
Option to Add Plan 500
Do you have elderly parents or adult children who wish to live independently close to you? Additional dwelling units (ADUs) include a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and laundry to support independent living while staying close to loved ones. At HiLine Homes, our ADU home plans can be attached to a selected HiLine Home plan or built separately.
Beyond accommodating family members, in-law suites can also serve as guest quarters, home offices, or rental units, depending on your needs.
Additional Dwelling Unit with a Darling Porch
Our Home Plan 500A includes the necessary utilities of an ADU: a spacious living room and a covered porch to enjoy the outdoors. This home plan can be built as an attached addition to a new HiLine Home or as a separate, stand-alone house.
Building for Families Across Oregon
Whether your lot is in a rural area or an urban setting, multi-generational homes in Oregon help accommodate each family member’s needs. Whether the space is limited or you want to expand your outdoor living space, our multi-generational home plans allow you to customize and adapt for your family’s ever-growing and evolving needs.
Rural Family Compounds:
Embracing Space and Togetherness
Multi-generational families often seek a lot in Oregon’s countryside for expansive living. Our home plan designs accommodate this need with layouts that include separate living quarters, shared common areas, and expansive outdoor spaces to enjoy the country air.
Urban Shared Housing:
Innovative Solutions for City Living
Urban areas in Oregon can have limited lot sizes. At HiLine Homes, our multi-generational homes in Oregon cities focus on efficiency without sacrificing breathable living space. While we include shared amenities like communal kitchens and living areas, we also provide private spaces for each family unit.

ADU, Duplex, or Multigen? What’s Right for You?
When choosing a multi-generational home plan for your family, you may wonder which one is right for you and your family.
ADUs and duplexes can generate rental income and offset monthly mortgage payments. They are best for families who want to house their older parents or adult children while maintaining privacy. However, their smaller sizes and simpler designs make ADUs more cost-effective to build. Meanwhile, duplexes provide equal living spaces for two households.
Multi-generational homes or single-family residences with dual primary suites are best for families who want to live together while maintaining individual privacy. These home plans are best for caring for aging parents who require more than 50% of assistance in their daily activities, despite available home modifications. They are also more cost-effective than maintaining separate households.
Here is a table comparing benefits, costs, and other factors to help you decide.
| Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) | Duplex | Multigenerational Home | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Privacy Level | Moderate to high; separate entrance and living facilities provide independence. | High; complete separation between units ensures privacy for both households. | Moderate; designed to balance shared spaces with private areas for each generation. |
| Construction Cost | Generally lower; utilizes existing structures of a new HiLine Home build or requires less extensive construction as a separate construction. | Higher; involves building two fully independent living units with separate systems. | Variable; depends on customization and the inclusion of features like in-law suites or additional bedrooms. |
| Rental Income Potential | Moderate; can provide additional income by renting out the ADU. | High; both units can be rented out separately, maximizing income potential. | Low to moderate; less commonly used for rental purposes, but possible with proper design. |
| Zoning & Legal Considerations | Subject to local regulations; may have size restrictions and occupancy rules. | Requires specific zoning; may face stricter permitting requirements. | Typically falls under single-family zoning; easier compliance with local regulations. |
| Resale Value Impact | Can increase property value due to additional living space and rental potential. | Potentially higher resale value, especially in areas where multi-family homes are in demand. | May appeal to a niche market; value depends on design and adaptability. |
| Maintenance Requirements | Lower; smaller size and shared utilities with the main home reduce upkeep. | Higher; two separate units require individual maintenance and systems. | Variable; depends on the size and complexity of the home design. |
| Financing Options | May be eligible for certain loans or grants designed to increase affordable housing. | Financing may be more complex; often considered an investment property. | Standard single-family home financing applies; customization may affect loan terms. |
| Best Suited For | Homeowners seeking flexibility to accommodate family members or generate income without significant changes to the main home. | Those looking to invest in rental properties or accommodate two separate households with complete independence. | Families desiring to live together under one roof while maintaining some degree of independence and privacy for each generation. |
