Essential Aging-in-Place Features for 55+ Custom Homes in Forest Lake: Thriving Through Minnesota Winters

At Guidance Homes, we’ve been building custom 55+ homes in Forest Lake, Hugo, Lino Lakes, and the north metro for years. Our buyers tell us the same thing: they want a beautiful, low-maintenance home they can enjoy now and stay in comfortably for decades — no matter how many Minnesota winters come and go.

That’s why every home we design (whether slab-on-grade or a walkout lower level) can be built with smart aging-in-place features from day one.

Here are the features our 55+ clients love most — and that make winter in Minnesota actually enjoyable. As a truly custom home builder, Guidance Homes can help design a home with all the features you dream of!

Build It Once, Live in It Forever. Adding these features during construction costs a fraction of what retrofitting does later.

We currently have a limited number of lots available in Forest Lake-area 55+ association communities — both slab-on-grade and walkout.
