AS THE POPULATION AGES, BARRIER-FREE LIVING AND ACCESSIBLE COMMUNITIES ARE BECOMING KEY DRIVERS OF VALUE IN REAL ESTATE
Simple tools to better serve the growing market for Aging in Place and People with Disabilities:
Many cities have adopted a Visitability code – which requires minimum access to the unit (32-inch wide, level door) and one accessible bathroom on the first floor.
Considering that the ADA Network has documented that
virtually 40 percent of people 65 and older have a disability that impacts
their daily lives, basic/comfortable/welcoming access can be marketed as a
desirable amenity.
