Tehachapi, Calif.The Mill Street Cottages don’t necessarily look like active adult housing. Situated on the site of a former junkyard, these 11 age-qualified bungalows, designed and developed by architect Alex Kosich, orient around a central green, featuring broad front porches and a symphony of textures and nice details. And did we mention this prime infill spot is located within walking distance of restaurants, shops, a hospital, and other key community amenities?
The 1,400-square-foot homes are clad in maintenance-free fiber cement siding and come standard with accessible design features such as wide hallways, roll-in showers, and electrical outlets that are located lightly higher on the wall for easy reach. Secondary bedrooms feature direct access doors to the outside, making them ideal for home-based businesses or live-in caretakers.
