dwelling unit typologies that can accom-
<br />modate more than one household. Others
<br />offer two master suites, or dens that can
<br />be converted into a bedroom. By mak-
<br />ing sure that a bedroom and a bathroom
<br />are on the first floor, these developments
<br />appeal to multigenerational households
<br />with elderly parents who may not want or
<br />be able to climb the stairs. In response
<br />to demographic changes and the related
<br />housing demand, a developer in Hunting-
<br />ton Beach, California, scrapped plans for
<br />a 23-acre, single-family neighborhood and
<br />instead designed a multigenerational neigh-
<br />borhood with a mix of small homes, town
<br />houses, and carriage houses with dwelling
<br />units designed to accommodate home -
<br />based businesses. The neighborhood was
<br />intentionally designed to allow for young
<br />families, downsizing baby boomers, their
<br />aging parents, and their boomerang adult
<br />childremto all live together nearby.

<br />CONCLUSION
<br />Where do single-family neighborhoods go
<br />from here? Riding the waves of change,
<br />both demographic and -economic, will be
<br />key for the survival and evolution of these
<br />neighborhoods over the coming decades.
<br />In areas where population and financial
<br />trajectories might otherwise point toward
<br />disinvestment, the full toolbox should be
<br />available to practitioners to guide the next
<br />stage of development: code enforcement,
<br />receivership, and urban agriculture are all
<br />possibilities. At the other end of the spec-
<br />trum, where there is pressure for greater
<br />densities, municipalities should be prepared
<br />to see increasing numbers of short-term
<br />rentals, home additions, and accessory
<br />dwelling units. In some cases, practitioners
<br />should be prepared to guide single-family
<br />neighborhoods toward more complete
<br />transformations —walkable neighborhoods
<br />with a mix of single-family and multifamily
