Eden Prairie’s seniors have the highest median income of any city we serve
At $87,500, the median household income for an Eden Prairie householder aged 65 or over is the highest of the nineteen cities in this group. That tends to change the conversation: homeowners here are more often choosing the option that fits the house best rather than the cheapest one that works.
The city’s housing is mostly 1980s and 1990s two-storey construction on rolling, wooded ground. Two things follow from that. Interior stairs are usually a single straight flight, which suits a straight rail. And because so many lots slope, front and garage entries sit high above grade, so an exterior lift or a properly engineered ramp comes up more often here than in flatter suburbs.
What we install in Eden Prairie
- Stair lifts: straight rails for the standard two-storey flight, and curved where a landing turns.
- Wheelchair lifts: outdoor vertical platform lifts for the raised entries common on Eden Prairie’s sloping lots.
- Home elevators: full residential elevators, including through-floor lifts that need no separate shaft.
- Wheelchair ramps: engineered ramps for high entries, in wood or aluminium depending on the rise and the site.
- Accessible bathrooms: roll-in showers and walk-in tubs, often as part of a main-floor suite.
- Safety and access: railings for sloped approaches, grab bars and automatic door openers.
Permitted, inspected, and done properly
Powered lifts and elevators are regulated equipment in Minnesota, not appliances you bolt down. Ocel Builders installs as a Minnesota Limited Elevator Contractor and holds a Minnesota Builders License, so the framing, the electrical coordination, the equipment and the inspection are handled by one accountable team in Hennepin County.
