"When we visited the show home
and saw the features, we thought
it was good for us. Both of us liked
the features because there's no stairs
in the garage to get into the home.
It's much better when you have little
ones and you have to carry them."
It's also easier to bring groceries
inside or push a stroller in and out,
he adds.
Visitable homes have three basic
requirements — a gentle slope/grade
to at least one no-step entry, wide
main-floor hallways and doorways
and an accessible bathroom on the
main floor.
The Wangs (not pictured here) built
a two-storey house with an open
floorplan and an accessible bathroom
on the main floor. While a main-floor
bedroom isn't a requirement of a
visitable home, they built one to
make it more convenient when their
parents come for a long stay.
Ray says his mother-in-law gave the
house the thumbs up.
"She really likes it," he says. "She
likes to do grocery shopping by
herself and then it's very easy for her
to access the new house versus our
old one, especially in the winter.
"When there's stairs, it can be very icy
if you don't clean it that well. Now we
don't really have issues."
your home…
your way
Now is a great time to build!
One of the key benefits to buying an MHBA member new built home
is that you can choose exactly what you want. Your home... Your way.
