Florida’s Only Brokerage Dedicated Exclusively to Multigenerational Housing

MultiGen Living Group is Florida’s only real estate brokerage dedicated exclusively to multigenerational housing. We don’t dabble in this niche between other transactions — it is the only thing we do.

Florida presents a unique challenge for families seeking this type of home. Unlike many other states, Florida has no basements, limited duplex inventory, and a general housing stock that was not designed with shared multigenerational living in mind. True private suite layouts — homes that function as two distinct residences under one roof — exist, but they are far fewer than most families expect when they begin their search.

We know where they are. We know which builders offer them, which communities have them, and which resale corridors hold inventory worth evaluating. Across all five regions of Florida, we know this market in depth.

Why this matters in Florida

Multigenerational Housing Is One of Florida’s Fastest-Growing Trends

In 2024, approximately 17% of homes purchased nationally were multigenerational — the highest share since the National Association of Realtors began tracking this trend in 2013. The drivers are practical: 36% of multigenerational buyers cited cost savings as the primary reason, 25% purchased to care for aging parents, and 21% bought because adult children needed to return home.

Florida is at the center of this trend. The 2024 American Community Survey ranks Florida 10th nationally for multigenerational household share at 4.3%. But that statewide number understates what’s happening in specific metros. According to Realtor.com Research, Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater had the highest share of multigenerational home listings of any major Florida metro in 2025 at 9.0%, with Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford close behind at 8.7%.

Pew Research analysis of young adult living arrangements found that California, Texas, and Florida together account for nine of the ten U.S. metros with the highest rates of young adults living with their parents. Miami leads that list — 23.3% of young adults in Miami live with parents, compared to a 15.8% national average.

What hasn’t kept pace is the housing stock. Florida has effectively no basement inventory, limited duplex availability, and a general housing supply not designed for shared multigenerational living. Finding a property that truly supports two independent households under one roof requires a different kind of search. That’s exactly what we do.

Five pathways

How Florida Families Find True Multigenerational Layouts

Across our five regions, families typically find their home through one of five pathways. Most evaluate two or three before deciding. Knowing which pathway fits your situation saves months of searching.

Southwest Florida is the only region we serve where all five pathways are actively in play. Most other regions have access to three or four. We help families understand which pathways fit their situation, their timeline, and their budget — and we know the inventory and process for each one.

Our standard

What Qualifies as a True Private In-Law Suite?

A qualifying property should include:

What doesn’t qualify:

A bonus room above the garage. A converted garage without HVAC and code-compliant access. A guest bedroom with an attached bath but no living area separation. These are useful spaces — they are not in-law suites. The distinction matters because it determines whether the home truly works for extended family living long-term.

A Plainspoken Guide to Where to Look First

Florida’s regions are not interchangeable. Each has different strengths for multigenerational buyers, and starting in the right region saves months of searching. Here’s the honest version:

Who we help

Every Family We Work With Is Different

Some families come to us caring for aging parents — sometimes planning ahead, sometimes in the middle of a health crisis that has changed everything. Some are supporting adult children who’ve moved back home, are saving for their own future, or are staying long-term. Some are sandwich-generation families holding both ends at once: aging parents on one side, school-age children on the other.

Many come from cultural traditions where extended family living is the norm rather than the exception — Latino, Caribbean, South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Eastern European families who’ve always understood that homes are built for more than just nuclear families. Others come to us because the math finally made sense: combined finances, combined household, and a layout that gives everyone independence.

Most come to us from out of state — moving toward Florida from the Northeast, the Midwest, or the West Coast. We coordinate the entire process from wherever they are, and we treat the search as the long, considered decision it actually is. We don’t push timelines. We help families find the right home for the right reasons.

Out-of-state buyers

We Specialize in Buyers Coming From Outside Florida

Most of our clients are not already in Florida when they begin their search. They’re calling us from New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and California. Some are snowbirds becoming year-rounders. Some are military families navigating PCS orders. All of them are doing one of the hardest things in real estate: choosing a home in a state they don’t yet live in, for a multigenerational arrangement that has to work the first time.

We coordinate this process from wherever you are. Virtual tours, video walkthroughs, neighborhood drive-throughs, school district reports, HOA document review, builder appointments, inspections — we handle it all and report back. When you fly in, we maximize the visit: pre-screened properties only, candidate communities organized by region, and every question answered before the trip ends.

The complexity of an out-of-state multigenerational purchase is real. The coordination demands are real. We know how to manage both, and we’ve done it many times before.
