The concept of multi-generation is not new in India, but it is again picking its pace in the real estate market. As Indians we are used to living with parents, and families with three-generations living together in the same home is common. This has slowly changed over the last few decades due to various reasons like education, better opportunities, families are slowly turning nuclear.

The separation comes when a son or daughter goes to other cities, states, and countries either for higher studies or jobs. Slowly with time, the son and daughter create their world separate from their parents’ life. A new house then becomes home with his/her own family.

But with the unfortunate outspread of Covid-19, people realized the importance of living together. When life on the fast lane came to a sudden pause, and a type of living started where location became insignificant for livelihood, then almost everyone felt in some phase of their life to have a home full of people with true love and experience and stories to tell, where there are parents who are not apart from their children or grandchildren. Homes felt void of laughter and joy when living alone and people started to realize the importance of multigenerational living. The advantages of having a multi-generation living are many and here are some for you.

Top benefits of multigenerational living:

1. You get to save more and have the elders’ guidance and support in your day-to-day life.
2. The bonding of grandparents to children is something to be treasured. The internal bonds of the family also increase when living together. Children do not need to take tension with the wellbeing of their parents and be dependent on others/ helpers for it.
3. At Estate.one, we believe it takes a village to bring up a child. A child grown in a multi-generation home will be more cared for and has a strong bond with grandparents. It is a world-known fact that grandparents live for the love and affection of grandchildren and children. While the grand-generation nurtures the children, they get enough exercise and fun while chasing the littles ones all day.
4. It is fun to be around the elderly especially when they can share their experiences, counsel. When engaged, valued for their time and knowledge, there are many benefits including better health, longevity.

So what can the community that supports multigenerational living have? Is it enough to have better steps, railings, etc., which are definitely needed? At Estate.One, we are convinced about the importance of multi-generation living. All the benefits we offer in our communities aid all generations to have a better and healthier living. We believe in designing a community that you can age in. A community that helps you think beyond superficial changes but allows conversations, values, and helps the elderly, creates spaces where you can rest – like social hubs, classrooms, counseling rooms. How about spaces you can feel the convenience like having resting areas like park benches, walking tracks in shade, greenery all around? What if we add place a village square that you can gather and see celebrations, performances? How about making the parks, play areas with seating, and provide wifi, power connections for charging, maybe have access to a cup of coffee? Would you move to such a community where you are valued, respected, and loved?
