Here’s why more and more people are considering multigenerational living.
Millions of Americans have discovered the benefits of multigenerational households. Today I want to talk about having multiple generations under the same roof. If your housing needs have changed, you may be thinking about sharing a home with grandparents, adult children, or other extended family members. It could be for a number of different circumstances.
A multigenerational home is defined as a household with two or more adult generations. These include households with grandparents and grandchildren under the age of 25. Some of the top benefits of this lifestyle include:
- Enhanced bond with loved ones
- A positive impact on mental and physical health
- Opportunities for school or job training
- Improved household financial situation
“More bedrooms, bathrooms, and space for privacy are ideal.”
Families may come together out of need, but they’re staying together by choice. A study found that seven out of 10 people currently living in a multigenerational household plan to continue doing so long term. If you decide to look for a multigenerational home, it’s important to find one that has the necessary space. More bedrooms, bathrooms, and more space for privacy are ideal.
If you’re realizing your current house doesn’t provide enough space for multigenerational living and you want to explore the scenario, don’t hesitate to reach out via phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
