Multi-Generational Housing In Harrisonburg
Scott P. Rogers
Many thanks to Sue Robertson for highlighting this article from Housing Watch regarding multi-generational housing. As this Housing Watch article reports....
"American families are going back to the future, with multiple generations shacking up together for the same reasons that young un-marrieds once did -- to save on housing costs. "
The article is based on a study by Coldwell Banker, including the following observation....
“With two or three generations living under one roof, families often experience more flexible schedules, quality time with one another and can better juggle childcare and eldercare.”
I am definitely starting to see that trend occur, and quite a few of these buyers are ending up at The Glen at Cross Keys, where several of the floor plans work well for a multi-generational living situation. Of note, most of these scenarios are a parent and an adult child buying together, not necessarily four generations of a family as shown in the stock photography above.
Another house that I am currently marketing would work quite well for this as well because it has so much square footage and so many bedrooms and bathrooms:
