I learned something new today. Alicia Utz a real estate agent?in the same office as me (Exit Choice Realty) here in Prince William County Virginia?sent me this video.
The email said; Granny Pod - An Alternative Housing Option in?Prince William County?Virginia.Intrigued, I opened the?email to review this video from AARP.??
This may not be for everyone, however if a family member wants to age in place close to other family members, yet still need their own independence this could be a very welcome solution to many. Watch...

?MedCottage a mobile, modular medical home you can install on our lot
I also?I did a little checking and it appears that the?Virginia?State General Assembly passed legislation that overrides local zoning rules to allow?homeowners to install "temporary?family?healthcare structures.".?Prince William County Planning office adopted this concept and to?my knowledge, the unit can only be occupied by a relative who is?has?written certification from doctor. So the occupant has to be be physically or mentally impaired.
Also,Prince Wlliam County Zoning appears to limit the size to 300 square feet and the structure must be removed with thirty days after?the relative/occupant passes away. Here is the zoning rules and information from Prince William County Virginia as adopted n 2011. VIEW HERE
Below is the application to begin the process START HERE
I could see how this could work for those who do not have a home large enough to accommodate their relative. This definitely would address the need.
In the past the?only options in this area for one level living is buying an older rambler home as they come available. Most of these homes are less than thousand square feet on one level with a basement. The challenge is many are over thirty years old and may need remodeling to accommodate larger doorways, eliminate steps and level changes to make the home safe. Another option is buying a home in a 55+ community such as River Run in Lake Ridge Virginia?and Four Seasons in Dumfries. Also there is River Run Senior Living on Hedgeford Drive off Minnieville Rd.
Now if you do not have a lot large enough to accomodate and cannot find a home with a master bedroom on the main level, then the next step is to consider buying a home with a lot large enough to accomdate a MedCottage in the future.
