Few homes today have the space, layout, and locale to accommodate a full scale home-based business. One solution offered in a traditional neighborhood development is a live/work. A live/work, by definition, is a home which functions both as a place to live and a place to work. These types of residences have been around for many years, but are experiencing a surge in popularity due to the advantages they offer the small business owner.

Live/works are typically a three-story unit, often in a building with three or more attached similar units. Each individual unit has commercial space located on the street level and residential use on the floors above. The homeowner may choose to use both spaces or may decide to lease the live or work space section to tenants for extra income.

Imagine having an office that is private, has its own entrance, and best of all - it's in your home. You simply walk downstairs to begin your workday.

Afton Village's Live/Work Homes will offer many unique amenities such as two car garages, private courtyards, 2700+ square feet units, unique design, customization, grade level entry for living AND home office space and pre-construction pricing.

Affordable, flexible and functional - the advantages of the live/work are substantial.

"When I was raising children as a stay-at-home mom, our single-family home suited our lifestyle. However, as my children got older and after I started my own business, it seemed to be less appropriate. My office was too small and there were entire rooms I never went into anymore. Moving into our live/work gave us more space where we needed it and less space where we didn't: a bigger work space and less yard, less bedrooms but bigger entertaining area. Plus, we are planted right in the middle of everything. I have more visibility as a business and finding time to socialize while working is a lot easier -- I just walk outside the door. I feel like I am in the perfect place for this point in my life."
