More Room at the Inn

These days there are a lot of folks looking for a home with a little extra space to spread out that can also include their extended family. A home where everyone has their own private retreat but can also come together to support one another through all of life’s stages. The In-law unit is in high demand! It’s often a win-win for all of the generations. The elder moms and dads have help on hand when needed and their adult children can rest easy knowing they are close and taken care of. Its also fantastic for the youngest generation who benefit from the wonderful grandparent bonds that are often so meaningful. If it’s something you might be interested in, check out the list I have put together below of homes with In-law units currently on the market around the state.
