What Makes a Property Ideal for Sober Living?

When it comes to sober living, not just any home will do.

Operators know that a beautiful listing on Zillow doesn’t guarantee a property is compliant, functional, or even safe for residents in recovery. The stakes are high—and the right environment can make all the difference.

At Clean Slate, we design and lease homes specifically built to support recovery programs. Here’s what makes a property truly ideal for sober living.

1. A Layout That Supports Structure and Community

Sober living homes thrive on structure, routine, and positive social dynamics. That starts with a smart, functional layout.

  • Multi-bed designs with natural flow

  • Private spaces for rest and reflection

  • Common areas that foster accountability and interaction

We intentionally design homes with these priorities in mind—not as an afterthought, but as a foundation.

2. ADA & Code Compliance Built In

Most homes are not ADA-compliant by default.

Ours are.

From grab bars in bathrooms to emergency egress windows, we make sure our homes meet or exceed all applicable regulations—so you’re not caught scrambling before inspections or license applications.

  • Wheelchair-accessible bathrooms

  • Code-compliant exits and entrances

  • Fire safety and emergency readiness baked in

This isn’t just about passing inspections—it’s about protecting residents and your reputation.

3. Community Spaces That Encourage Connection

Recovery happens in community.

Whether it’s a shared meal in the kitchen or a conversation in the living room, your home needs intentional, inviting spaces.

Our properties feature:

  • Open-plan kitchens

  • Spacious common rooms

  • Outdoor areas for movement, mindfulness, or meetings

We believe every home should be a safe, welcoming space where connection is easy—not awkward or crowded.

4. Practical Details That Actually Matter

Most landlords overlook the real-world needs of a recovery program. We don’t.

  • In-home laundry

  • Ample storage

  • Off-street parking

  • Durable, easy-to-clean finishes

  • Flexible lease terms tailored to your program

We know what it takes to run a house—and we’ve built around that.

5. Turnkey Saves You Time and Stress

Every day you’re delayed by a bad landlord or an unfit property is a day your program loses money and momentum.

With Clean Slate, every home is move-in ready.

No retrofits. No guessing. No chasing down permits or contractors.
