Multigenerational living is a growing trend in Aotearoa, driven by financial pressures and a desire for family connection. It allows families to pool resources for a better home, share childcare, and support aging relatives while maintaining independence.
Popular solutions include large homes with separate zones or home and income properties with minor dwellings, with builders like Signature Homes and Generation Homes catering to this demand.
Before committing, it's crucial to seek expert legal and financial advice to create a formal property sharing agreement.
