The Hickman whānau embraced intergenerational living by co-purchasing a two-flat home in Wellington. Bill, Jess, and their baby teamed up with Bill’s mum, Ginny, seeking mutual support after she needed to downsize and they needed to upsize.
After a challenging search, they found their ideal property on Trade Me Property. The new arrangement provides the perfect balance of support and privacy, allowing them to live closely while maintaining independence and helping their son grow up near his grandmother.
