Vertical Living: The Rise of Townhomes

September 15, 2023 by Arrow Lift

Several rows of three-story townhomes line a neighborhood street.

Blending the convenience of a condo with the privacy of a single-family home, modern townhomes are popping up everywhere, from urban centers to the suburbs. 

These residences can be more efficient, easier to maintain, and often cheaper than a standard single-family house. 

Sometimes referred to as terrace or attached homes, townhouses are multi-story, single-family homes in medium-density developments that share a wall with at least one neighbor. Unlike apartments and condos, these properties have separate, individual entrances, and the lot of land the home sits on belongs to the townhome’s owner. 

Townhomes provide homebuyers with a space-efficient, affordable housing option. And townhomes offer more flexibility and space for customization than rented apartments or smaller condos. Therefore, if the house doesn’t already have the type of upgrades and accessibility options you’re looking for, there are plenty of ways to create a space that works for your lifestyle and budget, such as small home elevators and stair lifts.

If you’ve ever sized up a pile of items and thought, “I can handle that in one trip,” only to realize halfway up the stairs that you’ve made a mistake, you already know the value of a dumbwaiter! Dumbwaiters are an ideal solution for transporting materials between multiple stories of a home or building. 

But what is a dumbwaiter, anyway? Functioning like a mini elevator that does not hold people or pets, dumbwaiters — also known as dummy waiters or dumbwaiter lifts — are miniature freight lifts that travel up and down a shaft to move items from one floor to another. 

Dumbwaiters come with a small footprint that has a big impact on both residential and commercial efficiency.

When deciding to improve mobility for you or a loved one, it’s common to research whether Medicare pays for stair lifts. After all, if the intended stair lift user is 65 or older, it’s likely they have other healthcare needs covered by this federal health insurance. 

While on their fact-finding mission, people often come across information stating that Medicare sometimes pays for patient lifts. Naturally, the next question becomes: Are stair lifts a type of patient lift?
