Why Choose an ADU?
Accessory Dwelling Units offer one of the most flexible, future-focused housing solutions available today. An ADU allows you to create additional living space on your existing property without major renovations or new land costs. They’re perfect for multi-generational living, providing independence for aging parents or adult children while keeping family close. ADUs also make excellent rental units, offering long-term income potential and increased property value.
With efficient layouts, lower operating costs, and the ability to adapt to your lifestyle over time, an ADU is a smart investment in both convenience and affordability. SimplyBuilt makes it easy to turn that potential into a beautifully crafted, functional living space.
