Millennials are moving out of their parents' houses and are moving to multifamily developments. It's a good reason because its creating vacancy and homeownership increases. They may not move back in with their parents and here's why:

• Baby Boomers are downsizing.
• They're selling their homes, relocating from family-friendly suburban neighborhoods to urban developments.
• As renters, they expect these multifamily communities to address wellness and zen-like opportunities for personal growth.
• Of course, they'll want to have enough space to entertain because Millennials are having babies.
