But NextGen is Lennar's program, not Scott's. What a multigenerational buyer should confirm first. - Author: Kasandra Chavez - Tags: Goodyear, New Construction, Home Buying **Is Scott Communities' La Privada near Yuma Road and 183rd Avenue in Goodyear worth considering over resale homes if I specifically want single-story living with a NextGen multigenerational suite?** **It's worth considering if single-story living is your priority, because every published plan at La Privada is single-story — that part of your search is genuinely solved there. The multigenerational half needs a correction, though: NextGen® is Lennar's trademarked layout, not something Scott Communities builds, and La Privada's currently published plans do not show a separate attached suite with its own entrance. If a true private suite is non-negotiable, confirm it plan by plan with the builder before you rule anything else out.** Multigenerational buyers get funneled into a naming problem that isn't their fault. NextGen® has become shorthand for "home within a home" the way people say Kleenex for tissue, so buyers ask for it by name and builder reps sometimes answer as though it's a generic feature. It isn't. What one builder calls a next-generation suite might be a private attached casita with its own entrance, kitchenette, and laundry — or it might be a guest bedroom with an en-suite bath and a pocket door. Those are very different homes for a family bringing in a parent or an adult child, and the difference shows up daily and again at resale. At this stage, I help clients narrow their focus to the exact configuration they need before we compare communities. ## What Scott Communities Is Building at Yuma Road and 183rd Avenue in Goodyear Scott Communities is building La Privada, a community of roughly 300 single-family homes near Yuma Road and 183rd Avenue in Goodyear, with a published plan lineup that is single-story only. The builder has been constructing homes in Arizona since 1994 and publishes a starting price range in the $400s for this community. The [current La Privada plan lineup](https://www.scottcommunities.com/communities/la-privada/?ref=blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com) runs from roughly 1,600 to just under 2,700 square feet in three-, four-, and five-bedroom configurations, with garage options extending to RV bays and up to four-car setups. Homes are built to ENERGY STAR certification with tankless gas water heaters, post-tension slabs, and a ten-year structural warranty. Planned amenities include a pool, an entertainment pavilion the builder calls The Hub, pickleball and basketball courts, a tot lot, walking trails, and shaded picnic and firepit areas. The community has an HOA, and assessments include access to the pavilion and pool. The timing detail matters as much as the specs: as of this writing, model homes are still under construction, the individual plan pages are marked as coming soon, no quick move-in homes are listed, and the clubhouse and pool are mid-build. La Privada is a pre-opening community, not one you can tour this weekend. ## Does La Privada Have a NextGen Multigenerational Suite? No — NextGen® is Lennar's trademarked program and Scott Communities does not build it. Scott's own earlier marketing for La Privada in Goodyear referenced next-generation suites for multigenerational living, but the plan pages the builder currently publishes do not show a separate suite with a private entrance and kitchenette on any of them. What they do show is single-story plans reaching five bedrooms and three bathrooms, which can serve a multigenerational household well, just in a different format. This is exactly the kind of gap I want closed in writing before a buyer signs anything. Ask the La Privada sales representative three specific questions: does any plan offer a bedroom suite with its own exterior entrance, does any include a kitchenette or wet bar in that suite, and is a separate laundry available. If the answer to all three is no, you're looking at a large single-story home with a guest wing — a fine outcome for many families, but not the product you came in asking for. I've walked through the same comparison logic on the north side of the Valley in my look at [choosing among builders for a multigenerational home](https://blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com/skymark-vs-northpointe-builders-multigenerational-peoria/). "Kasandra has been so helpful in our home buying/ building process. She has always been very honest with us and kept us up to date with everything and all of the changes going on." — Mariah A, Phoenix, AZ ## What Schools Serve La Privada in Goodyear? La Privada sits in the Liberty Elementary School District for elementary and middle grades, and the builder's current community materials assign its high school students to Estrella Foothills High School in the Buckeye Union High School District. Both districts serve portions of Goodyear, which is the source of a real point of confusion at this address. Here's the wrinkle worth knowing: Scott Communities' earlier blog coverage of Goodyear stated that La Privada would be served by the newly opened Goodyear High School, which belongs to a different district. The builder's current community FAQ names Estrella Foothills instead. Public district information supports the Buckeye Union boundary for far-south Goodyear, but the builder's own statements disagree — and a builder's website is not the authority on attendance boundaries. Confirm your lot's assignment directly with [Liberty Elementary School District](https://www.liberty25.org/about-liberty/contact-us?ref=blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com) and the serving high school district, by exact address, before you write an offer. Arizona also has open enrollment, so families have options beyond the assigned campus, and campus tours can be arranged through each district. ## The Trade-Off Between a Pre-Opening Goodyear Community and Resale A pre-opening community like La Privada asks you to buy from renderings, while Goodyear resale lets you walk the actual house — and for a multigenerational household, walking the house is worth more than usual, because the whole point is how the space functions for two households under one roof. Here is how the two compare on the criteria that matter for this specific search: | What you're weighing | La Privada in Goodyear | Goodyear resale | | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | Single-story availability | Every published plan is single-story | Mixed; single-story inventory varies | | Private multigenerational suite | Not shown on published plans; confirm directly | Findable, including added casitas | | What you can tour | Renderings; models still under construction | The actual home and lot | | Move-in timing | Build time after lot release | Roughly 30 days under the AAR contract | | RV and oversized garage | Offered as a plan option | Harder to find; depends on the subdivision | | Condition and warranty | New systems, builder warranty program | Verified through a 10-day inspection period | The warranty column is where buyers assume more protection than they actually have — I've compared [how warranty coverage, inspection issues, and long-term repair costs really differ between a resale and a new Goodyear build](https://blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com/were-comparing-a-resale-home-in-glendale-with-a-brand-new-build-in-goodyear-how-do-warranty-coverage-inspection-issues-and-long-term-repair-costs-really-differ-between-the-two-in-the-we/). Financing diverges too, since builder incentives don't compare cleanly to a resale purchase; my breakdown of [a builder buydown versus a resale at full rate in Goodyear](https://blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com/new-construction-builder-buydown-vs-resale-goodyear-az/) walks through that math. ## What I Confirm Before a Buyer Commits to a Community That Hasn't Opened When a client wants to reserve at a Goodyear community that is still building its models, there are six things I want confirmed in writing before any money moves: - **Suite configuration in writing:** Get the multigenerational layout described on the plan sheet itself, not verbally, including whether the private entrance, kitchenette, and separate laundry are standard, optional, or unavailable. - **Lot and plan pairing:** Not every La Privada plan will fit every lot, and the RV-garage versions in particular need frontage the standard lots may not have. - **HOA assessment scope:** Confirm what the assessment covers at La Privada and whether any community district or special assessment applies on top of it, since those are separate line items in many Goodyear communities. - **School boundary by address:** Verify the assigned elementary and high school for your specific lot with the districts directly, given the conflicting statements in the builder's own materials. - **Construction timeline in the contract:** The builder cites a typical build window after start, but what protects you is the delay language in the purchase agreement, not the brochure estimate. - **Incentive conditions:** Builder incentives are generally tied to the preferred lender and change by home and release, so get current terms and expiration in writing. Two earlier posts go deeper here: the [red flags in a Goodyear builder's contract](https://blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com/if-im-building-in-a-new-goodyear-community-what-are-the-red-flags-in-the-builders-contract-that-could-cost-me-money-or-flexibility-later/) that cost buyers money later, and how to approach [comparing builder contracts, incentives, and warranties in Goodyear](https://blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com/comparing-builder-contracts-incentives-warranties-goodyear-new-construction/) before you sign. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Are all La Privada homes single-story?** Yes. Scott Communities publishes La Privada as a single-story-only community, and every plan in the current lineup is single-level, ranging from roughly 1,600 to just under 2,700 square feet. **Does La Privada offer a NextGen suite?** No. NextGen® is Lennar's trademarked program. Scott Communities' published La Privada plans do not show a separate suite with a private entrance and kitchenette. Confirm any multigenerational layout plan by plan with the builder. **Is La Privada open for tours yet?** Not fully. Model homes are still under construction, plan pages are marked coming soon, and the pool and pavilion are mid-build. Contact the sales representative for current lot release and reservation status. **Does La Privada have an HOA?** Yes. La Privada is part of an HOA, and assessments include resident access to the community pool and the entertainment pavilion the builder calls The Hub. ## The Bottom Line If single-story living is the thing you refuse to compromise on, La Privada in Goodyear removes that variable entirely, and that's a real advantage over hunting through mixed resale inventory. The RV and oversized garage options are genuinely hard to find on the resale side too. But you came in asking for a specific multigenerational layout, and that piece isn't confirmed. Don't let a naming mix-up decide a purchase this size. Get the suite configuration in writing, verify the school boundary against the district rather than the brochure, and then compare La Privada honestly against the Goodyear resale homes you can walk through today. Sometimes the new build wins that comparison. Sometimes an existing home with a casita already built wins it. Either way, you'll be choosing with real information instead of a trademark.
