Getting multi-generational renovations for your Buffalo home will add functionality and make it easier to enjoy your golden years in place.
Is it Time to Refinish Your Hardwood Flooring? 5 Signs to Consider
Though it’s fairly common to go through multiple homes throughout your lifespan, have you considered what needs to happen to make your home friendly for a multi-generational family? Whether it’s your parents moving in with you as a middle step to help them retain their independence or the you of the future, adding multi-generational aspects into your home can make a substantial difference in how long you or your loved ones remain in your home.
Over the past 50 years, the number of multigenerational households in the United States has risen by 10%, with 5% of that number happening in the past 20 years. As the trend continues to accelerate due to aging Baby Boomers and Millennials who can’t afford student loans and home ownership, planning for this aspect in your home remodel can make your home not only more family-friendly, but more marketable.
Multi-generational functionality can be as simple as making it easier for loved ones to enter your home with a walker or wheelchair to adding an in-law or grandparent suite to the home. Adding a suite also provides you with potential passive income opportunities as a rental if the suite isn’t being used by family members through the addition of a basic bedroom, kitchen, living area, and bath.
By planning multi-generational factors into your home remodel, you and your loved ones can enjoy your home for many years to come.
