đĄÂ Multigenerational living is on the rise. According to the NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, more buyers are choosing homes that can comfortably accommodate aging parents, adult children, or both. Whether youâre sharing expenses or prioritizing togetherness, more families are choosing to live under one roof.
But not all homes are created equal when it comes to comfort, privacy, and practicality for multiple generations. If youâre house hunting with your parents in mind, here are a few must-haves to consider:
đŁÂ Main-Level Bedroom & Bathroom â Ideal for older adults who want to avoid stairs and maintain independence.
đŞÂ Separate Entrances or Living Spaces â Think finished basements, in-law suites, or attached units with privacy.
đ Accessibility Features â Walk-in showers, wider doorways, and no-step entries support aging in place.
đ˝ď¸Â Flexible Shared Areas â Larger kitchens, open dining spaces, and multiple living rooms make shared living feel seamless.
đłÂ Outdoor Access â Patios, yards, or garden spaces offer calm and breathing room for everyone.
đŚÂ Ample Storage â Donât underestimate how much stuff two or more generations bring. Look for homes with attic or garage storage, walk-in closets, built-ins, and bonus rooms that can double as organized storage zones.
đ§Â Thoughtful Layouts â Floorplans that create natural zones for connection and retreat are essential.
