Multigenerational Living Floor Plans

Multigenerational living is growing in popularity. A multigenerational home is a household made up of three or more generations living together under one roof. Typically, that is 2-3 related adult generations, as well as children.

There are many reasons why multigenerational living has become so popular.

One reason is that it allows multiple generations to share home expenses. It’s a lot easier to afford a larger, newer home when you are sharing the expenses between family.

Another reason is that older generations are living longer. So, a multigenerational living situation is ideal for grandparents who want to age in place instead of moving to a retirement home.

A beautiful fringe benefit of multigenerational living is that grandparents can help raise their grandchildren. It can eliminate or reduce the need for babysitters or child care. And, studies have shown that active grandparenting reduces stress, increases mental engagement, encourages better physical health, and boosts longevity.
