What's The Optimal Distance For Parents Or In-Laws To Live?

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- When you have bought or think about buying a home, is closeness to family a consideration?

In the survey, 57 percent said a decent drive away -- about 15 to 45 minutes, that is -- is the sweet spot.

Younger people who responded seemed to be the most concerned with keeping some distance.

The generational sword cuts both ways, too. Sixty-four percent of respondents said that they aren't in love the idea with living with their adult children.
