That's what we found at Highline Crossing too, the largest units generally have DINKs and Empty Nesters, and the families are in smaller units, often with unfinished basements that they can finish. It was hardest for us to sell our big units. We did much better in sales when we increased the number of smaller units, various 1 and 2 BR configurations. And families may not be part of the group when the community is initially built, but may join up in later stages, as others move out.

You'd think it'd be this way, but many groups have found out the following. As costs rise (or even if they don't) in part because they have several kids, many families end up not being able to afford those three and four bedroom units, so they squeeze into a two-bedroom and those three and four bedroom units end up going to a single person or couple with no kids who can afford them.
