Could your backyard help offset your housing costs?
Explore whether an accessory dwelling unit - often called an ADU, guest house, or backyard apartment - might fit your property and your goals.
A starting point for a conversation, not an approval. Local requirements, property restrictions, construction costs, and permitted rental uses must be verified. No eligibility, income, or mortgage coverage is guaranteed.

One property. A few possibilities worth exploring.
An ADU is a separate living space on the same lot as a primary home. Whether a detached unit, addition, or conversion is possible depends on the property and applicable requirements.
Room for family
Explore separate living space for loved ones while keeping them close.
Potential rental income
Consider whether a permitted rental could help with housing expenses after financing, operating costs, and vacancies.

Book My ADU ConversationAn address and questionnaire cannot confirm approval. Zoning, setbacks, lot coverage, access, utilities, flood conditions, private restrictions, building standards, and rental rules need property-specific review.

Does a large backyard mean I can build an ADU?
No. Space is only one factor. The applicable jurisdiction and property-specific requirements must be checked before treating an ADU as feasible.
Could an ADU pay my mortgage?
Rental income may help offset housing costs, but it is not guaranteed. Construction and financing costs, taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancy, and rental restrictions all affect the outcome.
What if the property has an HOA?
Recorded covenants and association documents need review alongside government requirements. This check does not establish whether a private restriction is enforceable or whether an association will approve a project.
Is this a permit application or professional feasibility report?
No. This is an initial real estate conversation. Final determinations and approvals belong to the relevant authorities. A qualified architect, contractor, engineer, attorney, or other professional may be needed for your specific questions.
Let's talk about your property's possibilities.
Bring your address, your goals, and your questions. We'll discuss a practical starting point for exploring ADU potential or finding a property that may fit your plans.
