Why Build an ADU in Your Backyard?

Our customers use ADUs for various reasons, with the most common being:

  • Multigenerational living: Backyard granny flats or in-law suites for aging parents are a great way to keep family close. The aging parent can enjoy the privacy and independence of having their own space, but they can be checked in on as needed, spend time with their grandkids, and relish the company of their family.

  • Investment opportunity: Most towns in Connecticut allow the homeowner to rent out either their main home or the ADU while living in the other. It's a great way to generate some extra income and increasing the value of your property at the same time.

  • Home office: When working from home, it's convenient to have a space where you can do focused work and join video conference calls without having to worry about distractions typically found in a busy household such as kids playing, dogs barking, or family members watching TV or listening to music. Depending on your business, it can also be a space where you receive customers.

  • Guest house: Have a well-decorated and organized space dedicated for friends and relatives to stay during holidays or vacations with comfort and privacy, that allows them to enjoy their own personal time, and without disrupting the routine of your main home.

  • Pool house: Create a space near your pool where you and your guests can change, shower, play board games or even rest after a day of fun activities. Pool houses can be equipped with wet bars, abundant fridge and freezer space for drinks, a galley-style kitchen and a cookout area.

  • Caregiver's quarters: Having an extra dwelling on your property for a caregiver can give them the comfort and privacy they need to recharge during their free time so they can perform at their best in such a demanding and important job, while you and your family can preserve your privacy and living spaces. It's important to know that for those looking into au-pairs for childcare, federal law requires host parents to have dedicated bedrooms for au-pairs.

Tip for Empty-Nesters, Those Approaching Retirement Age, or Those Who Are Seeking Investment Opportunities

1. Move into a brand new ADU in your backyard, with monthly financing payment typically in the $1,000 to $1,500 range, depending on the size of your ADU (30-year HELOC with no down payment).

2. Rent out your main home, which can typically generate you $2,000 to $4,000 per month or more, depending on your home and on the town your home is in.

3. Use the difference to save, to have a more comfortable retirement, or to pay your ADU faster, all while increasing the value of your property and building generational equity.
