There are previous discussion on Gransnet, general consensus is beware.

We've bought a first floor retirement apartment which sits in nice grounds, which someone else will maintain!
We'll be able to leave a window open without worrying about the security.
We'll have a nice outlook as it's over the top of any parked cars.
There's a lift if we need it.

They will all have steps because they all sit above the ground, though if you have enough space around you I suppose you could have a ramp. Lots of ground floor apartments have a little gaden or patio.

We are thinking about downsizing and planning ahead for possible mobility problems which DH is already experiencing. Definitely can’t afford a bungalow in our area which are out of our price range. We’ve considered a ground floor apartment but would miss the outside space. Which brings me to the question. We have been considering a park home. Some nice ones close by but I think I need to get a honest opinion about the pros and cons and ask if any grans out there have experience?
