Buying a home for a multigenerational living situation can be a great alternative.

There can come a time in some families when they consider buying a property that will allow them to live with their aging parents, adult children, or extended family. Multigenerational living can be a wonderful solution for many families.

  • Built-in support system for childcare or eldercare
  • Quality time with loved ones

Cons

  • Limited privacy or personal space
  • Potential for conflicts over household routines
  • A larger home can mean more upkeep
