Townhomes with elevators might seem like the ultimate luxury, but if you buy one before construction is finished, installing an elevator can be fairly affordable. And, chances are once you live in a house with an elevator, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without one. Here are just three major reasons to buy a home that's “elevator ready.”

Why You Should Buy a Townhome With Elevators

1. To Ensure Lasting Functionality

You may be perfectly capable of running up and down the stairs now, but if you want to remain in the same home for years—or even decades—to come, it’s wise to consider all eventualities. For example, your mobility will likely decline with age, which means you will eventually have to move to a single-story house—unless you buy a townhome with elevator. And, if you're not ready to install the elevator just yet, the shaft can serve as storage closets until you are.

2. To Increase Safety & Security

Thanks to advancements in technology, elevators can essentially serve as panic rooms nowadays. That means installing one will provide peace of mind in the event of a home invasion. Having an elevator will also prevent serious injury. Both small children and older adults will be less likely to slip, trip, and fall because they won’t have to take the stairs when moving between floors.

3. To Add Convenience

Having an elevator will make it so much easier to transport groceries, furniture, luggage, and even children between floors. You will never have to worry about trekking up the stairs with heavy bags or bulky items again. In fact, you’ll probably find yourself wondering how you used to do all that before the elevator was installed.
