Baby Boomers are making “aging in place” cool. With Keith Richards and Mick Jagger into their 70’s, boomers are looking for properties that offer great lifestyle with subtle concessions to the passage of time. Designs call for easy access to the outdoors, open floor plans, ground floor master suites, wider halls and doorways, and beautiful big bathrooms. Elevators add another level of accessibility, and proximity to superb health care and cultural amenities are powerful magnets.
