Top 5 Reasons to Build an ADU on Your Property

top 5 reasons

1. Extra Income

One of the biggest reasons homeowners build ADUs is to make rental income. You can rent it out on a monthly basis or even short-term (like Airbnb). It’s a great way to earn extra cash and help pay off your mortgage.

2. More Living Space

Need room for family members, guests, or even a home office? An ADU gives you that extra space without needing to buy a bigger home. It’s perfect for aging parents, adult children, or visitors who want privacy.

3. Increase Property Value

An ADU can boost your home's value. If you ever sell your property, buyers may be more interested because of the added living space and rental potential. It’s a smart investment!

4. Stay Local, Stay Together

ADUs make multi-generational living possible. Families can stay close while still having their own space. It’s a great way to care for loved ones without giving up your own privacy.

5. Use Your Space Wisely

If you have a large backyard or unused garage, why not put it to good use? ADUs are a great way to maximize your property and turn unused space into something useful and beautiful.
