Multi-Generational Living
Independent living spaces allow for privacy while still being nearby
Multi-generational living refers to a housing arrangement where members of more than one generation of a family live together under the same roof or on the same property. This often includes grandparents, parents, and children sharing one home or living in separate but connected units.
These arrangements are becoming increasingly popular for many reasons:
- Emotional support: Families stay closely connected.
- Practical benefits: Shared responsibilities such as childcare, elderly care, and household expenses.
- Financial efficiency: Lower living costs per person and shared utilities or property expenses.
- Flexibility: Flexibility: Independent living spaces allow for privacy while still being nearby, and also offer the option to rent out one unit for additional income.
Homes suited for multi-generational living often feature two separate living units, one of which is located on the ground floor—often with a garden—and is particularly suitable for people with disabilities due to the absence of stairs and easy access. Additionally, these homes typically offer separate entrances, multiple kitchens or bathrooms, and flexible spaces designed to balance independence and togetherness.
