The “aging-in-place” trend in place-making-Asheville Style lifelong homes.

 

 Walkable neighborhood Asheville- Beaver Lake

Just as digital outreach in the Boomer Age is responding to human needs-  so is the “aging-in-place” trend in place-making.

 

That is very clear here  in Asheville where-  more and more- our clients are asking for a neighborhood grocery store, and not far away, an espresso café, and not far from that, the park for use- regardless of age.

 

You will  see families at Beaverdam park all the time, (see my photo) for example.  If you were to  walk along any of the streets in this “walkable” neighborhood,  you could meet people out enjoying  the company of their neighbors, chatting, stopping by to observe the work being done on a 1920s Craftsman Bungalow.

 

It is good, they tell me,  to have a sense of place.

 

Place-making is a worthy objective for multigenerational families ambling down the sidewalks with kids and dogs in tow. In fact,  lots of talking goes on such a neighborhood with its “village” atmosphere. It’s a super place for settling in- aging-in-place” with a smile.
