Side-by-Side at Serres Farms: A Multi-Generational Townhome Solution in Oregon City

At Serres Farms in Oregon City, two adjacent townhomes (shared wall, separate front doors) can function as one multi-generational home. Aging parents who want proximity without dependency. Adult kids who want their own front door. Privacy and togetherness in the same purchase. Stephanie at Forrest Ridge Homes handles all inquiries about the side-by-side configuration.

Multi-generational housing is one of the fastest-growing categories in American real estate. The volume builders barely speak to it. The custom builders speak to it expensively. At Serres Farms in Oregon City, Forrest Ridge Homes built a townhome configuration that lets extended families live together without sharing the same front door.

Two adjacent units. Shared wall. Separate entries. Two full homes that function as one multi-generational solution.

What does "side-by-side at Serres Farms" actually mean?

It means buying two townhomes next to each other and using them as a single household across two private spaces. Each unit has its own front door, its own kitchen, its own bedrooms, its own everything. The wall they share is a normal interior wall between two finished townhomes.

There is no shared interior door. There is no connected courtyard. There is proximity. Two front doors, three steps apart. Family members live on the same property line without living in the same hallway.

Who is this built for?

Three buyer profiles tend to ask about side-by-side configurations.

Aging parents whose adult children want them close. The parent gets full independence (their own home, their own kitchen, their own routine). The adult child gets the daily access that makes it possible to share school pickups, dinners, weekend yard work, and small everyday support without anyone living on top of anyone.

Adult children housing aging parents. The roles flip but the structure is the same. Mom or Dad keeps their own door, their own dignity, their own front entry to receive friends. The adult child is next door if a fall happens at 2 a.m.

Blended families with grown children. Stepkids who want to be near each other for the holidays without the awkwardness of one house. Two homes, two spaces, one shared driveway sense of belonging.

How is this different from an in-law suite?

An in-law suite is a smaller secondary unit inside or attached to a primary home. Shared front entry in many cases. Shared utilities. Shared mailing address. The in-law lives in the host's house.

A side-by-side townhome configuration at Serres Farms is two full homes. Two addresses. Two title records. Two utility accounts. Each homeowner is a homeowner in their own right. The proximity is the feature; the independence is the standard.

What ownership looks like

Each unit is purchased and titled separately. Buyers can structure ownership however suits the family (joint, separate, trust-held, gifted, etc.). Stephanie can walk you through the standard floor plans available for adjacent units and which combinations are still available within the 28-home community.

A multi-generational townhome at Serres Farms is, in financing terms, two ordinary townhome purchases that happen to be next door. Lenders, title companies, and tax preparers treat them as the two separate transactions they are.
