DTLA lofts ideal Age in Place renovation projects.
Aging in Place is when a person or couple makes a thoughtful decision to stay in the place of their choice for as long as they can with the comforts that are important to them. As they age, these may include adding supplementary services to facilitate their living conditions and maintain their quality of life.
Industrial Lofts offer ideal floor plans for this trend in a renovation. Home owners are looking to invest in their forever homes. Long term renovations need to take into considerations mobility for the elderly resident.
A loft’s open floor plan and lack of load-bearing walls allow for just this kind of renovation planning. It revolves around ease of access from kitchen counter height to wider doorways and roll-in roll-out shower facilities. Buying your forever home means planning that far ahead to ensure you can stay in your forever home. #entarlovesyou
You may be thinking about a few indoor extreme sport upgrades for now like the trampoline to take advantage of the volume of usable height, or a bespoke skateboard ramp along with the always popular digital driving range to work on your golf swing. A smart move is to look for a Mills Act Loft such as Little Tokyo Lofts. The Tax savings could be used towards your long-term renovation plans as described in the Age in Place plan.
Aging in place successfully means you plan for your future years before it becomes urgent and life-changing. This endeavor requires a person to provide for and choose and identify preferences clear to friends and family. This planning does not mean that you need to do everything yourself. You can choose to do as little or as much as you want, can, and are capable of. Resources and technology, such as medical alert systems, allow seniors to live at home safely for a much longer period of time. One way to finance this kind of plan is to buy an industrial loft in a Mills Act Building.

Be proactive in ensuring you can enjoy your loft far into the future. “The hours are long but the days are short,” Gretchen Rubin. #millsactlofts
