A new Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies report shows that 38% of new age-restricted communities now feature single-level layouts—marking a seismic shift in how older adults are choosing to live. This trend reflects both changing consumer preferences and evolving housing policy, particularly around accessibility and aging-in-place strategies.
