UFAS-certified accessibility

Accessible homes, built new — and measured.

Most buyers who need an accessible home are told to buy an older house and spend $40,000–$80,000 retrofitting it. Meadow Hills offers UFAS-certified new construction instead — and we publish the actual measurements, because “accessible” isn’t an answer. A dimension is.

Who these homes are for

A

Wheelchair & mobility users

Single-level living with turning clearances and a roll-in shower, with no retrofit cost.

B

Aging in place

A home that works now and later — and for adult children buying for a parent.

C

Disabled veterans

VA-loan eligible, and potentially compatible with VA Specially Adapted Housing grants. Confirm with your VA lender.

D

Multigenerational households

A four-bedroom, single-story layout that keeps everyone on one accessible level.

The measurements

What a wheelchair actually needs.

Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) reference dimensions. Final as-built figures are confirmed per home — request the certificate for any specific lot.

Which homes qualify? UFAS certification applies to specific homes (for example, 205 E Abbot Ln on the South Pacific plan). Ask us for the current certified list.
