Ever wonder what the future of 50+ housing will look like? Tomorrow's mature buyers want well-designed communities or alterations in their homes that allow them to be engaged and active. Although they may not acknowledge it today, they also want homes with thoughtful features that make it possible to comfortably age in place. A representative from AARP's Livable Communities program will provide builders, developers, designers and remodelers with a checklist of what makes a community truly livable. A leading expert will provide an overview of universal design, while a nationally recognized builder and remodeler will show you how incorporate these features into new or existing construction—without breaking the budget.
