Multigenerational living is on the rise as housing costs continue to soar.<\/p>\n

In the US, 6.1% of listings are tailored for multigenerational living.<\/p>\n

California is better prepared than other states, taking the top five spots.<\/p>\n

For a growing number of Americans, living with family members<\/a> has become a necessary trend<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Young adults are moving back into their parents’ homes<\/a> as the housing market becomes increasingly unaffordable, and grandparents are offering childcare in exchange for a place to stay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

June Boyd, 90, hosts 13 people in her Toledo, Ohio, home, including children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren<\/a>. Together, the adults split the home’s $700 monthly rent \u2014 a huge plus for living with others.<\/p>\n

“In our case, there are no downsides to multigenerational living<\/a>,” Boyd told Business Insider in May. “The main thing is that it reduces the cost of living, given how high prices are.”<\/p>\n

While Boyd’s situation might seem exceptional, multigenerational living is becoming more common across the country.<\/p>\n

Between July 2023 and June 2024, 17% of all homebuyers purchased a multigenerational home \u2014 an increase from 14% the previous year, according to The National Association of Realtors’ 2025 report. In some housing markets, nearly a fourth of the homes support multigenerational living.<\/p>\n

California metros lead the country in multigenerational home listings, Realtor.com data shows<\/a>. Among the 50 largest metros, the top five are all in California, with the leading metro at 23.7% \u2014 nearly four times the national share of 6.1%.<\/p>\n
