Visit-ability: Basic Access in Every New Home Built for the Open Market

Building Today’s Homes for Montana’s Future

Visit-ability means people with mobility limitations are not isolated by architecture. A visitable home is one designed for the open market, not specifically for people with disabilities, with three specific access features. The essential access features of a visitable home include:

  • One zero step entrance on an accessible route–at the front, back, side, or through the garage.
  • All main floor interior passage doors with 32 inches clear passage space.
  • A half or full main floor bathroom with basic maneuvering space.
