 Written by [EYA Homes](https://www.eya.com/blog/author/eya-homes) | January 06, 2015

We're excited to see [The Washington Post](http://www.washingtonpost.com/realestate/empty-nester-boom-offers-boon-for-builders-in-washington-region/2014/12/31/169d228c-7f2e-11e4-9f38-95a187e4c1f7_story.html) talking about right-sizing options in housing this week. EYA has been following the needs of empty nesters for years, by developing walkable neighborhoods throughout Washington. Many of our homes offer [one-level floor plans](https://www.eya.com/oronoco/Residences/Floorplans) or [elevators](https://www.eya.com/little-falls-place/Homes/Models_and_Floorplans) for access to all levels. It's great to see more options being offered for simplifying life and spending less time on yard work and home maintenance.
