Mother Daughter Homes Long Island

Mother-Daughter Homes and Senior Accessory Apartments in Nassau County, Long Island

Did you know that mother daughter Homes in Long Island offer a unique opportunity for families to live together under one roof while still maintaining separate living quarters? This setup provides several benefits, such as sharing housing costs and ensuring privacy for each family member.

However, obtaining a permit can be a complicated process with various requirements and fees. It’s important to note that the tenant in the accessory apartment must be a family member.

While the process may be similar throughout Nassau and Suffolk County, each building department has its own checklist to follow. To learn more about the Town of Hempstead’s process, check out this link.

If you’re considering a mother-daughter home or senior accessory apartment, here’s what you need to know:

• Mother-daughter homes: Mother-daughter homes are single-family homes with two separate living quarters, each with its own kitchen and bathroom. They’re ideal for multi-generational families, as well as for families with adult children who are not yet ready to move out on their own.
• Senior accessory apartments: Senior accessory apartments are apartments that are attached to a single-family home. They’re typically smaller than mother-daughter homes, but they still offer residents their own privacy. Senior accessory apartments are a great option for seniors who want to stay in their own homes but need some extra help.
