Multigenerational Living Made Simple with Backyard Pod
Across Texas (and the U.S. as a whole), multigenerational households are on the rise. According to Pew Research, nearly 1 in 5 Americans now live in a multigenerational home, whether it’s adult children moving back in, grandparents needing support, or families pooling resources to save on housing costs. While the idea of everyone under one roof can sound comforting, it also comes with challenges: space, privacy, and peace of mind.
That’s where Backyard Pod makes it simple.
Why Multigenerational Living is Growing
Housing costs: Home prices and rents in Texas metros like Austin and Houston continue to climb, making shared housing a smart option.
Aging parents: Families are choosing care at home over costly assisted living facilities.
Boomerang kids: Post-college and post-COVID, adult children are moving back home, often with partners or kids of their own.
Cultural trends: Many families simply value staying close, blending support with independence.
The Challenges of Sharing One Home
Even the most loving families can feel the strain of too many people in one space:
Zoom calls colliding with kids’ playtime.
Grandparents needing quiet while teens need room to hang out.
Parents balancing work-from-home with household noise.
Traditional solutions—like a full remodel or moving to a bigger house—are expensive, disruptive, and time-consuming.
Backyard Pod: The Smarter Solution
A Backyard Pod gives your family what it needs most: privacy and flexibility.
Independent Living Space: Perfect for aging parents who need proximity without losing independence.
Guest Suite: Comfortable quarters for adult kids moving back home—or visiting family.
Work + Life Balance: Separate office, wellness space, or studio that doubles as overflow living.
Quick Build: Installed in weeks, not months, with none of the stress of a major remodel.
One Houston family turned their backyard into a multigenerational win:
Their son and his family moved back home.
Instead of squeezing everyone inside, they added a Pod Guest Suite.
The result? Privacy for both households, room to grow, and thousands saved compared to buying a bigger house.
