Bolingbrook Photos

In June 2003, Bolingbrook IL passed a Visitability ordinance requiring basic access in all new homes.  Several years prior to the law, the City had been strongly urging Visitability and many builders had complied.  As of June 2007, more than 3,600 Visitable homes had been constructed.  Nearly all have basements--as opposed to slab construction-- and only a handful required exemption from the zero-step entrance. City officials state that there have been no problems with moisture at the entries, even though many of the homes have weathered four snowy winters.  The photos below show several of the homes.
