Millennials are flocking to new neighborhoods called agrihoods. These agricultural neighborhoods are described by the Urban Land Institute as master-planned housing communities with a focus on working farms.
These communities are created to attract young families by combining natural settings and resort amenities. Each of the 22 homes in MPC Walden Monterey comes with 20 acres. However, Agritopia in Gilbert, Arizona, prizes the concept of community, with multiple homes sharing a single lot, "to inspire relationships between neighbors," says Business Insider.
Millennials, who tend to value experiences over material things, are now shunning the tony golf communities of their parents in favor of agrihoods. These communities are designed to appeal to young families who want to eat healthy, spend time outdoors, and be part of a community.
