3 Reasons To Install a Home Bowling Alley

by Robert Johnson Blogs on Latest News

Bowling remains to be one of the most popular sports in the United States. Millions of Americans go bowling at least once a year, while others play in their personal bowling alleys. Unlike any other sport, bowling is very inclusive: it appeals to people of all ages irrespective of their background or gender. Over the past few years, installing a home bowling alley has become a lot more popular. Here are a few reasons why:

They Add Value to Any Home:

A personal bowling alley is one of those dream upgrades that’s sure to make friends and family jealous. Of course, they don’t come cheap—a typical home bowling alley could set you back thousands of dollars. And if you are looking for a customized alley, you could be paying a lot more. No wonder home bowling alleys are for people who want the best in entertainment under their own roof. Home bowling alleys tick all the right boxes—they are convenient, they offer recreation, and they help homeowners stay active. Homes may not sell because they have a bowling alley, but a home bowling alley certainly helps the property stand out; after all, it’s such a defining feature!

Bowling Is One of Our Favorite Pastimes:

In the 1950s, the American Bowling Congress had more than 2.3 million members. Although membership numbers are just a little over a million today, bowling remains a popular sport. What has changed over the years is that people don’t frequent public bowling alleys anymore. Rather, they prefer to play the game within the comfort of their home, as a recreational sport for weekend relaxing. Personal bowling alleys are popular at resorts too, and such is probably why a majority of our clients are resort developers and developers of multi-family homes.

Bowling Offers Relief from Stress:

Of course, bowling isn’t the same as jogging, but Harvard Medical School and Mayo Clinic researchers have found that bowling has similar effects—in terms of lowering stress hormones and boosting mood-elevating endorphins—as running. Bowling provides a perfect opportunity for socializing; it’s also a great ice-breaker! In fact, we have worked with corporate clients who install personal bowling alleys on their campuses. Bowling also helps people focus and improves their concentration.
