I own a house on just under a half acre of land in a quiet little neighborhood that's tucked away in some hills just a couple of miles from the middle of our small town. It's nice, because it's conveniently close to town, but secluded. The road dead ends one house past mine and there's some empty land on the other side of me that will never be developed, so we don't get much traffic up to this end of the neighborhood.

One of the main things I like about our house is how well lit the living room, dining room, and kitchen are. They're very brightly and evenly lit, which makes it easier for me to see to do things.

I live here with my husband and our 20yr old son who's attending the local university. It's a three bedroom house, so I use one of the bedrooms as my office, since I work from home. We also have a second living area that we turned into a game room and a storage room that we turned into a small art studio.

I absolutely love our house.

I would say my area is not super blind friendly, but it's not awful, either. It's kind of hard to get to places if you can't drive, since we're pretty rural. That said, if you can get to the downtown area, it's pretty walkable, but we're pretty spread out, with most of the big chain stores in a big area on the north end of town, and the hospital, university campus, some restaurants, and all the local shops downtown. There's a bus that runs between the two areas fairly regularly, but I've never used it.

I'm poor and leeching off my family to survive. Not great.

I own a house out in the middle of no where. About five acres. I work from home so no need to travel which is good as I can't drive. The house is very non accessible due to kids and their many toys everywhere. The house is really nice as it's not a huge house but it has a lot of windows, 36 windows so there's a lot of natural light in the house which is so helpful.

I am 32 years old and live with my husband in apartment for seniors in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Its a policy that if you are visually inpaired or in a wheelchair, you're eligible for a apartment like this. It's a 3 bedroom apartment. My husband works full-time and I work part-time on a farm that provides work for disabled people. It's a really big social program that's for everyone in our country who can't hold a regular job.
Whe live in a quiet neighbourhood, lots of public transport and shops nearby. It's also lovely to walk with our dog and one of the last districts with plenty of grass and trees.
There's a taxi service for the elderly and the disabled and that works really well even for time scheduled appointments.
Me and my husband also struggling with psychiatric problems an we receiving home care for practical things, help with cleaning/organising and therapy for me.
We are living relatively independently and I am really grateful for the care we receive.
I think its the most humanised situation where people with on or more disabilities can live independent.

I'm 39, will be 40 in less than two months, and have been living in my childhood place with my 72 year old mother since my father passed away in 2017. I'm very dependent, and my mother is partially to blame for that, as she feels extremely anxious whenever I try doing things on my own and controls everything I do except when I'm at the computer because fortunately for me she isn't tech savvy.

I live in an apartment in a city of mostly elderly people that is moderately sized in area but is small in terms of population since most of it is on the other side of a river and is classified as a natural reserve. Accessibility isn't very good here, as roads and sidewalks are all paved with cobblestone which makes it annoying to use a cane, buildings aren't aligned properly which causes disorientation, crosswalks have no distinctive tactile features almost anywhere so I have to remember where they are, and most traffic lights do not play a sound when it's OK to cross, so I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

I've been totally blind for 8 years, unemployed for 11 since my vision deteriorated to a point that I felt incapable of working as a programmer, and have been on disability for 9. However I'm preparing to start applying to jobs from October onwards since I have figured that I can still code blind and plan on becoming independent once my mother either passes or her health deteriorates too much to take care of and control me.

“Blind friendly”? You mean like not owning an ottoman or coffee tables? If so then yea my apartment which I live in with just my dog is blind friendly because I set it up how I need it to be.

I live alone in what used to be a suburban neighborhood in Charlotte, NC but has been eaten by urban sprawl. My neighborhood is full of single family and duplex homes. I live in one of the cul-de-sacs on a street of duplexes with a huge yard and a small house. Behind me is an interstate highway so it’s a good thing I’m deaf! My city is meh for blindness. My neighborhood is pretty good though because we have a near city record of 3 buses that come through our main street. Anything I really need except for specialty doctors is within a 2 mile walk. I would recommend Charlotte only for blind folks that really want to reside in the Carolinas. If you’ve got the whole US to consider, this is not the most accessible place to choose, but if like me, you like mild winters, lots of trees, a plethora of outdoor activities and long walks, it’s a decent spot.

In my 20’s and I live in supportive housing! So there’s staff I can ask for help.

I am 66 and I live alone in a condo. I moved here four years ago after I had my right leg amputated and left my beloved historic home that really could not have been made accessible to me. In this space, I am not responsible for any outside maintenance like yard work or snow removal. This is a huge help.

At that time, my VI was miled (NLP right eye, 20/50 left eye)

Since that time, I have become legally blind (20/400). I have had to make many adaptations to my home to accomated my dual disability.

The furnature is placed so there is no clutter, there are no throw rugs except by the front door and garage entrance, I have a stairlift to access the upstairs, and I have a handicapped accessible stall shower. I have great window light (east and west exposures).

I have bump dots everywhere, and I do still have enough sight to be able to function here. I have help wtih transportation from family and friends, and irely heavily on the app Be My Eyes for things like cooking instructions, etc.

I am very blessed to be able to live this way, and I pray I can plateau with the vision loss and continue to live on my own.

ETA" My town has audible traffic signals in the town square, and tacticle crosswalk bumps (I don't know the real name!) at all crossings where there is a traffic light.

We have a bus that you can ride by appointment anywhere in the county, but it's hard to get a spot, and the bus will pick you up one to two hours before an appointment that is 15 minutes away, depending on their schedule, so this is not a great option

Im 20 and I currently live with family though Im planning on moving out cause me and my fiancee are working on moving in together

I’m 44 and live with my husband and our two young adult children. We live out in the country in a home we own, about a 20 minute drive to the city. The city I live close to has no subways or trains, only a sparse bus line, so I wouldn’t say it’s great for the blind but the overall cost of living is pretty low compared to similar cities.

I own - or half-own with my wife I suppose - a home in a small village (about 200 people) 3 miles away from the nearest town/city.

We have a sighted child and I work 5 days a at a local school.

I do live with my family in a city.

I live on my own, in an apartment. My parents would like to put me in a home. I say no thanks!!

Currently I live by myself with my two birds in a little house at the back of my parents property but I am extremely independent where my parents are concerned, though I have access to support workers if I need sighted assistance. I have lived in houses on my own and I lived in an apartment with my then husband when I was in Europe and we were both blind. I was lucky enough to be taught a lot of skills from a young age and to have parents who assumed competence as a matter of course and trusted my judgement. So many blind people have parents who assume incompetence by default and it is not even conscious. They are not doing their children any favours by doing this and they need to be educated from an early age about this kind of thing as it is doing extreme damage.

I am 29 going to be 30 at the end of this year and still live with my parents. You can say that I am poor and a broke college student. I am still in school currently slaving away at a few math classes for a while and have no real income accept ssi. My state is also the most generous in. Ssi payments but I still cant afford anything. Unless you live out in the middle of just about nowhere it’s expensive this is why I live at home. I am quite outspoken and independent. I can get what I want fairly easily dependent on where I am at.

I live in California in the county of los angeles.

I live in a 3 bedroom home in a really nice suburb neighborhood where there is practically peace and no crime. The worse is there is a family argument.

Where I live is actually really nice but it is really expensive. Downtown long beach actually where I live is cheaper may have slightly or definitely more frequent buses but also much more crime ridden. It’s very safe I can go on a very early or very late night stroll like 10 or 11 at night. Everyone say it’s really nice and peaceful. And a great area.

We have a bus line yes, quite a number in fact but most of them only come once an hour. Except the one which comes twice an hour every 30 some minutes mostly because they are a school route to a few universities.

As to do I recommend people come and live here? Well…….. yes and no. If you can afford it yes sure, but it’s quite expensive and california is quite expensive. It’s not as bad as nyc or the bay area. There’s a lot of blind people that live in Los angeles county and its a nice area. Ideally it would be cool to stay in socal, but I don’t know even with a job I could afford it.

It’s quite accessible, there’s a lot to do, it’s a very cool vibe, and people are usually nice and relaxed but some of them can be as fake as fudge.

Early 20s and live with my mother. I plan on moving out once I finish my studies and have a job that pays well enough for me to get a nice place in the city/agglomeration.
