Evolving Multigenerational Living in Modern Asia
In the past, it was customary for children, especially the eldest son, to care for aging parents by living in ancestral homes. However, as education and job opportunities grew after independence, many moved into their own homes. To continue practicing filial piety, some invited parents to live with them, often contributing to childcare.
Today, architect Ng Wai Keong observes that modern families seek more independence. Some parents, now healthier and financially secure, prefer living separately in smaller homes. This shift reflects not only changing values but also the desire for personal autonomy on both sides. “Many parents recognise the problems of staying with their children and consequently plan to stay separately from their children.” Ng explains. “They look at scaling down and getting smaller places where they can be independent or semi-dependent. The standard of living of these baby boomer parents have increased compared with the previous generation. They are also physically able and independent,” Ng adds that this is progress drives how house designers and developers look at housing in the future.
Designers have responded to these needs with housing innovations such as dual-key modern homes offered in Puchong Legenda. These spacious homes in Puchong allow multiple generations to live together while maintaining privacy. A typical dual-key setup includes a primary unit and a smaller, independent "granny flat" with separate entrances and amenities. The facilities within each project includes family-friendly areas in Puchong while fostering a close-knit, gated and guarded community in Puchong.
Meanwhile, retirement villages and assisted living facilities are also being explored, though adoption is gradual. Some families prefer resort-style communities, while others look for practical solutions near healthcare facilities. Here at Puchong Legenda feature amenities for all ages, featuring one of the best parks in Puchong right at the doorstep of pet-friendly homes. The upcoming developments in Puchong will also include retail conveniences, featuring shop lots for sale, providing residents with easy access to shopping right at their doorstep. Public transport in Puchong being just 2 minutes away also makes it one of the best places to live in Puchong and a worthy real estate investment in Puchong.
As baby boomers age, the demand for these flexible housing solutions will grow. Whether through dual-key homes, retirement villages, or individual homes, these evolving models reflect a blend of tradition and modernity, offering practical solutions for Asia’s changing multigenerational families.
