Today’s families have a lot to juggle — busy work schedules, managing children’s schoolwork and extracurricular activities, balancing household tasks, and ensuring enough quality time together, all while tackling the demands of modern life.
The right features in a new home can make all the difference. As you embark on your home-buying journey, the following considerations can help you find a place that will serve your family for years to come.
An open floor plan — meaning one large space that includes the kitchen, family/living room and dining room—allows robust and integrated family interaction. Meal prepping in the kitchen, homework in the dining room, building Legos in the living room all become shared experiences.
Families inherently come with a lot of stuff. Toys, sports equipment, baby gear, the list goes on. Mudrooms, garage storage, walk-in closets, and built-in storage cabinets provide additional space to keep things organized and clutter-free.
A play area, homework nook, workout space, or work-from-home office, you decide what’s best! Having a bonus or flexible space within a home allows families to customize space to fit their needs—and continue to evolve it as families grow. These extra spaces can also provide a spot for alone time.
Efficiency and flow can save you time and lessen stress. For instance, an upstairs laundry room near bedrooms makes washing easier. Grouping kids’ bedrooms together can offer siblings a sense of security and allows parent privacy—a win-win for all.
Families need space to run, explore and enjoy fresh air. In addition to backyard space, parks and playgrounds foster curiosity, social development, mental well-being, and appreciation of nature.
With nine builders, 13 product lines and 75+ floor plans, Painted Prairie’s new homes offer families incredible options to customize — not to mention 10+ parks and acres of open space scattered throughout the neighborhood. Explore our home builders to learn more about their family-focused features.

Moving can be daunting; packing, sorting, and decluttering can all take their toll. Don’t worry, we’ve put together a quick guide to a stress-free move.
The key to a relaxed move is beginning your preparations well in advance. Starting early gives you ample time to declutter, sort, and pack your belongings without being rushed. It’s advisable to start with seldom-used items and gradually move to everyday necessities as the moving day approaches.
Organize your move with a checklist. A comprehensive list of all tasks, segmented week by week, will give you a clear map of what needs to be done and prevent any last-minute scrambles. It’s a simple tool to keep you on track and ensure nothing gets overlooked.
Moving is your golden opportunity to let go of unnecessary items. Separate your items into categories: keep, sell, donate, or toss. It will make your new home less cluttered and reduce your moving costs by minimizing the number of things you need to relocate.
Your belongings are valuable, and they deserve to be transported safely. Invest in high-quality packing materials like sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing paper. Remember, using the right packing materials can prevent potential damage during the move.
Last but surely not least, invest time in researching and choosing dependable movers. Look for a firm with a proven track record and positive reviews. The right movers will handle your belongings with care and respect, making your move even smoother.
Of course, a moving and relocating guide wouldn’t be complete without a mention of where to move. If you’re looking for a community where there are numerous economic, recreational, and quality-of-life opportunities, then Painted Prairie is the place for you. Take a look at a couple of our stories about the Economic Outlook for Aurora and all the great places and things to do around us.
