Room for everyone: The rise of multi-gen homes in Kumeū.

By Tihana Vlasich

Looking for a home for the whole family? We look at the rise of multi-generational homes and home-and-incomes in Kumeū.

The “human” family is changing. One of the biggest “energetic” trends we’re seeing in Kumeū is “multi-generational living.”

It’s about “human” connection. It’s about having grandparents live with you, or giving your adult kids a “simple” start. Kumeū, with its larger sections and “approachable” new builds, is the perfect place for it.

What is a “multi-gen” home?

It’s a home designed for two (or more) generations.

  • The “Home and Income”: A “simple” minor dwelling (or “granny flat”) on the property. This is the “honest” dream. It gives everyone their own space and independence.
  • The “Stylish” New-Build: Modern “stylish” homes are being designed this way. They might have a “guest wing” with its own bedroom, bathroom, and “simple” living space.
  • The “Human” Layout: Even a “simple” single-level home on a big section can work. It’s “approachable” and “simple” for all ages.

Why Kumeū?

“Honestly,” it’s the “lifestyle.” Kumeū offers the space to do this. You can find “honest,” big properties that just aren’t available in the city, all in a “human” and “approachable” community.

Looking for a home with room for everyone? This is a “simple” search that’s “hard work” on your own. Give our team a bell and tell us what your unique “human” family needs. We’ll help you find it.
