Pros
There are numerous pros to building an accessory dwelling unit on your property. We have a few favorites to get you started on your own list.
More Space
The biggest positive we see is adding more space to your home. We don’t imagine there are many people out there who haven’t thought at one point or another about needing a little extra room for something. The space could serve so many purposes, from extra bedrooms, bathrooms, office space, gym space, or even a hangout space. The possibilities are endless and can be customized to meet your individual needs.
Extra Income
Adding an accessory dwelling unit can also allow you the opportunity to generate extra income for your household. In today’s economy, that is one of the biggest positives of all!
Create a space that you can rent out as an apartment to help support you for years to come.
Separate Areas
Adding in an accessory dwelling unit will also allow you to create a separate area, if that is what you need. If you are looking to create an office or home gym, having the space away from the main areas of the home can allow you more peace while accomplishing things.
If you are creating an apartment-type space for people to live in, it will allow for more privacy for everyone involved.
Add Value to Your Home
Finally, an accessory dwelling unit will add value to your home. Having more square footage and space that can be utilized in many ways will increase your home’s value. Everyone wants a little more space, and they will pay for it when it comes time for you to sell.
