Additional Square Footage

Detached ADUs, or ADUs that don’t share a wall with the larger house on the lot, are a versatile option for adding flexible living space for your evolving household.

For example, a young family could use a detached ADU as a rental unit until they need the additional space for kids who live at home. Then, once the kids leave, the aging parents might want to move into the ADU and allow an adult child and grandchildren to live in the larger house. ADUs make it possible to house a variety of household configurations on a lot over time.

One-bedroom ADUs also make great guest houses for hosting out-of-town visitors.

Rental Income

Detached ADUs are a great choice for homeowners who want to earn rental income. Because they don’t share an entrance or walls with the larger house, detached ADUs offer greater privacy than attached ADUs or garage conversions. This makes ADUs an attractive option for potential renters — especially in neighborhoods where single-family homes make up a majority of the housing options.

While you may lose some privacy by renting to tenants on your lot, maintaining a rental unit in your backyard cuts down on travel time between home and the rental unit and makes monitoring the condition of the unit easier.

Furthermore, the market rate for ADU rental units tends to be higher than that of similar apartments, according to an AARP Livable Communities article, so ADU landlords may be able to achieve a higher return than they would with other options.

Increased Home Value

While ADUs cost money to build up front, they’re an investment — in relatively densely populated areas, homes with ADUs are listed for 35% higher than similar homes in the same area.

Additionally, Anchored Tiny Homes’s small home contractors offer transparent pricing, providing a cost estimate only after completing a comprehensive, free evaluation of your property.

The company handles the entire building process, from designing the tiny house to obtaining permits to building your ADU. Anchored Tiny Homes also offers a variety of financing options, including a home equity line of credit, a cash-out refinance, a renovation or construction loan or an in-house bridge loan.
