The Demand for Multigenerational Homes Increase ~ True Mother/Daughter Home in Fairfield, New Jersey

By
Real Estate Agent with Lattimer Realty

With the demand for multigenerational homes increasing in the United States between 2008 and 2010,  this Fairfield Mother/Daughter a/k/a/ multigenerational home may be just what you are looking for.  

I get many emails about multigenerational homes and it's always the same scenario:  the daughter emails me looking for a mother/daughter home in Fairfield or the surrounding West Essex area and they all say the same thing, "my mother doesn't want to be in a basement".  Now, having lived in a somewhat multigenerational home in the basement of a Fairfield home when I first got married, I truly understand why many mothers do not want the basement apartment! But no worries on this multigenerational home just listed in Fairfield!  This true mother/daughter Fairfield home has a separate "above ground" apartment a/k/a in-law suite complete with kitchen, dining area, living room, bedroom and bath and front of the house separate entrance!   The main house offers 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths and is offered at $494,900!

This would be appealing to me because I am my mother's caretaker. This would afford her the independence that she wants and me the ability to make sure she is safe! I bet that I am not the only one! Here's to a quick sale on this great new listing!

Gina - There are a lot more multi generational families out there than we know ..... for several years our home was home to 4 generations and we thought we were the only ones until we started to talk with some friends .....  we were very surprised to learn of the number that had grown children move back home.

Houses that are conducive to multi-generational living will become more popular. "Aging in place" support systems means more families will be looking for homes that will comfortably accommodate aging parents.
