At Forrest Ridge Homes, we specialize in new construction in Salem, Oregon, creating spaces where families thrive—through thoughtful designs, eco-friendly practices, and a focus on community connection.
What Defines a Family-Friendly Home?
A family-friendly home is more than a house—it’s a place designed to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable. Key elements include:
Open Floor Plans: Foster connection with layouts that seamlessly blend the kitchen, living, and dining areas.
Safe, Sustainable Materials: Low-VOC paints, bamboo flooring, and rounded edges on fixtures create a safe and healthy environment for children.
Built-in Storage Solutions: Hidden cabinets, custom closets, and multi-functional spaces help reduce clutter and keep essentials organized.
Example: The Johnson family opted for a semi-custom design that included a playroom adjacent to the family room, ensuring a perfect balance of togetherness and functionality.
