Amenity 2030: Paws, Pickleball, and Placemaking

by Multifamily Executive

By 2030, multifamily communities won’t just offer amenities—they’ll curate experiences that feel essential, personal, and seamlessly integrated into daily life. From pet-friendly spaces that rival boutique hotels to wellness circuits designed for mind-body restoration, the next generation of amenities is reshaping how residents choose, use, and value their homes. “It’s really about placemaking—creating a sense of place when you come home,” says Ed Cadavona, managing partner of AO, the design team behind The Row at Red Hill, an award-winning multifamily development in Santa Ana, California. “You want to be able to say, ‘I live there and feel proud of it.’ Amenities are key to that lifestyle story, not an afterthought.”
