One issue is that a lot of the listings just don't have the information about accessibility. And for one of the ones that we looked at today, she said that she'd contacting the seller's agent, and he said that it was right by the elevator, but it turned out to be a really long walk from the elevator.
The one that was on the ground floor would have been great if the entrance wasn't on a creepy tiny side street with barely any lights.
So far, the best one that I've seen is definitely the one at the old high school building, so I asked her to look into that one and see if it's still available, or if there are any others in that building coming available soon. (From the street, that building looks like there's no way that it could possibly be accessible, but all the old-fashioned doors with stairs that are visible from the street aren't actually usable doors anymore. The actual entrance now is from the parking lot in the back, and it's got a curb cut leading right to the door, which leads right to the elevator. Some of the hallways are kind of narrow to navigate in a wheelchair if I ever need to, but it would be workable.)
Hil, finding accessible housing is such a pain. Good luck.
There's one place that looks from the photos like it would work out great in terms of accessibility, but it's further from campus than I'd like. It's technically within the city of Cincinnati, but looks a lot more suburban. But it's a one-story sort of townhouse thing (is it still a townhouse if it's just one story? Rowhouse, maybe?), so I wouldn't have to worry about stuff like broken elevators.
Hil, since you're looking for an apartment and I'm probably going to have to move, I thought I'd try Zillow ... but their website keeps forcing me into the property owner mode. How'd you get a list of apartments?
Toddson, try this link: [link]
Hil is looking at apartment/condos for purchase, not rent.
Thanks! I keep starting there but when I try to look at apartments I get a dialog box asking for details on "my property". (And I'd buy if I could but - wow! the prices!)
and, um, I came across this story about a Zillow listing.
I said this on FB: at least they avoided the cliche by not painting the walls red or black.
Yes - that impressed me - it looks like something from Architectural Digest or some such ... I wonder if they're Marie Kondo fans ....
Hey babe, let's go down to the dungeon and...spark some joy.
