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:
Does the community have wide sidewalks on both sides of
the street?
Are they well-maintained (tree root buckling repaired,
landscaping trimmed back) and unobstructed (no speed limit signs in the center
of the sidewalk, no dockless scooters allowed to be discarded and blocking safe
passage)?
Are crosswalks safe (center median safe harbor to pause
halfway when there are four or more lanes)?
Are curbramps consistent or missing?
Without them, a wheelchair user is forced into dangerous
traffic.
