Aging-in-Place Home Modifications in Oxon Hill, MD
Oxon Hill's mid-century communities near the Potomac River and National Harbor — many built in the 1950s\u201370s with split-level and rambler floor plans — are increasingly being upgraded for aging in place. Three local contractors serve Prince George's County, helping homeowners convert split-level entries to zero-step accesspoints and transform main-floor spaces into accessible living areas. Prince George's County's Home Modification Programs and Maryland's tax credits help fund these upgrades.
