The Hickman whānau embraced intergenerational living by purchasing a two-flat home in Newtown, Wellington. Bill, Jess, and baby Robin teamed up with Bill's mum, Ginny, who needed more support after an illness, while the young family needed to upsize.
After finding the perfect property on Trade Me Property, they now enjoy mutual support and family connection while maintaining their own private spaces. This successful arrangement allows baby Robin to grow up close to his grandmother.
