While housing prices continue to rise, there is a growing trend among people trying a place to live: intergenerational roommates.
These roommates are described as being separated by at least "one generation," and the amount of intergenerational households has QUADRUPLED since 1971.
In 2019, 25-year -old robotics student Nadia Abdullah moved in with 64-year-old attorney Judith. Nadia pays $700 a month and helps around the house, and she's just 6-miles from Boston, and 30 minutes from her robotics job in Beverly, Mass.
She told the Washington Post, "It was perfect—Judith has become like my family."
Nadia and Judith found each other through an app called Nesterly, an app specifically designed to create intergenerational roommates.
A young Nesterly reviewer named Kaplan wrote "Through Nesterly, I lived with Sarah while attending Harvard. She provided the type of repository of knowledge you just can't Google—showing me how to garden, to gut a fish, and inject French Romanticism into life."
