The Hickman whānau embraced intergenerational living by purchasing a two-flat home together in Wellington. This solution allowed grandmother Ginny to downsize while her son Bill and his partner Jess could upsize with their baby, providing mutual financial and physical support.
After a challenging search, they found their ideal property on Trade Me Property, which uniquely offered two flats of equal quality. The arrangement gives them the perfect balance of family support and personal privacy.
