You know what? They kinda are. The gables are a bit much, as are the colors, but…no stairs leading up to the entranceway, no basements, seemingly an open floor plan with room for mobility devices like scooter, walk-in/roll-in showers…looks like sensible retirement design.
Just something that caught my eye, as my elderly parents are attempting to get out of their split-level home, a very Midwestern house design that almost seemed architected to kill old people with all those damn stairs.
