Why does my guy friend often invite me to his house?

For context, he and I used to have a history of emotional dependency to each other and I did confess I see him in my future to which he rejected me back then cause turned out he had a partner. We live in different cities, that was last year.

This year he moved back to where his hometown is and coincidentally I'm in the same city so I happened to invite him to meet up. I told him i often already go to a place where he lives. I try to suggest places like coffee shops nearby but he's offering for me to go to his house where his sister is and her family and the children of her sisters.

He was also excited for me to play with the children of his sister when i mentioned i find life so serious lately so he invited me to join them.

I actually feel a bit uncomfortable meeting family members so i'm trying to avoid that. When he's also going to his hometown, he also wants me to go to his place saying something to the lines of before he wouldn't show it because it needs improvement but because he went through a lot, he's now willing to show it as is even though i again told him i will visit nearby areas and not his house.

Why do you think he is inviting me there when we can just go to coffee shops?
