Accessory Dwelling Units, commonly known as ADUs, are one of the fastest-growing trends in residential living — and for good reason. Whether you're looking to generate rental income, create a guest suite, or downsize with style, ADUs offer a smart and flexible solution.
✅ What Is an ADU?
An ADU is a secondary living unit built on the same property as a primary home. It can be detached, attached, or even a garage conversion. These compact, fully functional homes typically include a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living space — all in a smaller footprint.
💡 Why Are ADUs Becoming So Popular?
1. Rental Income Potential
Homeowners are turning their backyards into income-generating machines. A well-designed ADU can rent for $1,000–$2,000 per month depending on location and size.
2. Multigenerational Living
ADUs are ideal for aging parents, college students, or relatives who need privacy but still want to live close to family.
3. Property Value Boost
Adding an ADU increases the total livable square footage and can significantly raise your home’s market value.
4. Airbnb & Short-Term Rentals
In areas that allow it, your ADU could double as a stylish vacation rental. At MSK Living, we design models that are Airbnb-ready and energy-efficient.
