New Homes Designed for Aging in Place – Thoughtful Features for Every Stage of Life

August 7, 2025

At Pratt Home Builders, we believe your home should evolve with your lifestyle—offering comfort today and flexibility for the future. That’s why many of our new homes in Chattanooga are thoughtfully crafted with aging in place in mind. From wider doorways to zero-entry showers, our homes are built for long-term living, independence, and ease.

Future-Ready Design for Real Life

Our homes aren’t just beautiful—they’re smart. Features like open floor plans, main-level living, and step-free entries make everyday movement simpler and more accessible. Whether you’re managing a stroller, a wheelchair, or simply planning ahead, our designs remove unnecessary obstacles and add lasting value.

“Easy Living” Isn’t Just a Trend — It’s the New Standard

Melissa Cervin, Vice President of Marketing at Lombardo Homes, says it best:

“Townhomes are not just about affordability. Today, homebuyers are drawn to the low-maintenance lifestyle. This shift reflects a growing demand for convenience and flexibility.”

At Pratt, we embrace that philosophy—offering low-maintenance townhomes that minimize yard work and maximize freedom.

Designed for Aging in Place

We make it easier to stay in your home longer. Small but important features make a big difference:

  • Wider doors and hallways

  • Zero-entry, walk-in showers

  • Lever-style door handles

  • Ample lighting and fewer stairs

  • Flexible spaces that adapt with your needs

These details support comfort, safety, and long-term independence.

Communities That Support Your Lifestyle

We offer multiple new home communities in the Chattanooga area that are ideal for forward-thinking buyers. Whether you choose:

…you’ll find peaceful surroundings, walking trails, community spaces, and a sense of connection that supports both health and happiness.

Built for Comfort, Designed for Life

Choosing a Pratt home means investing in a future-proof lifestyle. We prioritize timeless design, low-maintenance living, and smart layouts that work now and later. Our homes aren’t just places to live—they’re places to thrive.
