Active Adult Design

Easy Access for Green Living™
Elegant Design for All of Life's Phases

In response to the increasing numbers of Boomers choosing Portland as their retirement destination, we offer expertise in custom home design that incorporates features for all of life's stages. The Easy Access for Green Living™ design principles are unique to Prairie View Homes and target the active adult (50+) housing market to deliver a complete system to future proof - or extend one's ability to cost-effectively and stylishly 'age in place'.

Natural lighting, a toxin-free environment and low cost of operation complements Universal Design such as stepless entry, stoopless appliance placement and open and accessible bathrooms and hallways.

Special attention is paid to built-in storage and space saving design for Buyers savvy about the not-so-big-house philosophy.

A range of space configurations can be accommodated, however one-level living is most frequently requested. If space is tight (such as a close-in infill location), a two level home can easily incorporate the increasingly-affordable home elevator combined with the master on the main floor.

Styling is not limited to any one genre. Prairie, arts and craft, modern, traditional Northwest can all be designed with the Easy Access for Green Living™ concepts.
