It’s All About the Plan

2. The Millennial generation, for many reasons, is choosing to
move back in with their parents after attaining a degree or
entering the workforce. They benefit from reduced living
expenses as they enter the next phase of their lives. These
“boomerang” kids also enjoy the added privacy that a well-
designed plan can give them.
Baby Boomers who may have retired or are considering
retirement are also looking for ways to reduce their overhead.
Inviting parents or children back into an attached studio or
separate bedroom suite may be just the right way to achieve
these savings while keeping family close by.
Aging grandparents can also have the care they need with the
independence they crave by moving to their own living space
beside established children. All generations benefit from this
universal living arrangement.
