In 2025, homeowners are increasingly prioritizing convenience, accessibility, and timeless style. Whether they are building new or renovating an existing space, owners have come to understand the value of having universal accessibility and age-in-place-friendly elements like vertical lifts integrated into their homes.

At RAM elevators, we know how important accessibility is in every home and how essential vertical platform lifts (VPL), like our FlexLift model, are for day-to-day functionality. When installed by a trusted manufacturer like RAM, FlexLift, and other VPLs enhances your ability to interact with your space, add property value, and make it easier than ever to remain in your home for as long as possible. Below, we’ll explore why a home VPL like FlexLift is one of the smartest investments you can make in your property. Read on to learn more!

What Are Home Lifts?

Home lifts, also known as vertical platform lifts or VPLs, are, as their name suggests, mechanical lifts designed for residential spaces. Unlike full-scale elevators, which are designed to facilitate movement between multiple floors or large gaps between levels for multiple people, VPLs are more compact and help individual homeowners navigate smaller gaps like stairs, driveway-to-walkway transitions, and more.

Why Homeowners are Choosing Home Lifts

There are many reasons homeowners choose to install a home lift like FlexLift in their home, including:

Enhanced Accessibility

North America has an unprecedented number of homeowners nearing or over the age of 65. This means that aging in place has become a serious priority for builders and owners alike. Home lifts make it easy to navigate every area of your home for better long-term accessibility and safety at every age. Whether you’re planning on staying in your current house for as long as possible or want to have mom and dad join you as they age, home lifts help to remove barriers and offer priceless peace of mind.

Increased Property Value

One of the biggest long-term perks of adding a FlexLift VPL to your home is that you’ll also significantly increase your market value should you decide to sell down the line. As we mentioned, homeowners are more concerned with accessibility and universal access design features than ever before, and the housing market is facing an increased demand for properties that can support multi-generational living.

Home lifts and elevators are an integral part of accessible design and keep your home open to a much wider demographic of potential buyers. Better selection affords you the luxury of choice when it comes to netting the right sell offer!

Convenience and Luxury

A vertical lift adds undeniable convenience and sophistication to your home and your daily routine. For wheelchair users, those with mobility issues, and even those who can use a hand to get heavy items upstairs, etc., FlexLift becomes a seamless part of your daily life and makes previous tasks easier than ever before!
