The benefits of multi-generational living
The rising cost of housing has made
it difficult for younger generations to
enter the property market. As a solution,
more and more New Zealanders are now
choosing to live with family members
from different generations to share the
financial burden of a mortgage. This
shift towards multi-generational living
is gaining momentum as more Kiwis
opt to live under one roof with multiple
generations due to various social,
economic, and cultural factors that reflect
the changing times.
For many cultures, this is the norm.
In New Zealand, Māori and Pasifika
communities often have a strong tradition
of extended family networks. People from
diverse cultures have realised the benefits
of living together as one big family, which
has challenged the traditional family
dynamics of living independently. As a
result, there is now a growing demand
for properties that can accommodate
larger families. To meet this demand and
accommodate the diverse needs of each
generation, architects and developers
are now incorporating designs that cater

to multi-generational living. This may
include separate living spaces within a
single residence or separate dwellings on
the property.
Financial security and cost-effective
living are two primary motivating
factors for many families. Many families
are now recognising the practical
benefits of shared expenses. Living
with extended family members allows
individuals to pool financial resources
and share expenses, such as mortgage
payments, bills, and groceries, making
homeownership more accessible and
manageable.
Multi-generational living in New
Zealand offers not only economic
advantages but also increased family
support. Nowadays, it is common for
both parents to work. Therefore, having
grandparents, parents, and children living
together creates a built-in support system
where childcare, caring for older people,
and household chores can be shared.
However, having different generations
living together can bring challenges.
Everyone has unique needs and
expectations, so it’s important to consider
adequate living space and privacy and
that they share a common lifestyle choice
to ensure everyone is comfortable. When
choosing a property, consider features
including shared common areas, dual
master suites, multiple bathrooms,
accessibility considerations for elderly
family members, separate entrances,
self-contained living spaces, and flexible
and adaptable spaces to ensure a sense of
ownership and comfort.
As always, location is important

when looking to buy real estate. When
searching for a property, choose an
area that will meet all family members’
lifestyle preferences and needs, including
proximity to amenities, schools and
healthcare facilities.
With society continuing to evolve, the
advantages of multi-generational living
become more apparent. A property
capable of housing extended families
addresses practical and financial concerns
while involving social considerations and
support.
