A high-quality ADU boosts resale value and appeal for future buyers looking for extra space or rental potential.
Multi-Use Functionality
Use it as a home office, gym, rental unit, or entertainment area.
Support Multigenerational Living
Give aging parents, adult children, or extended family a private space close to home—without sacrificing comfort.
What is The difference between a Casita and an ADU?
While the terms are often used interchangeably, there are some subtle differences:
Casita
Traditionally used in the Southwest, a casita is a small, detached guest house located on the same lot as a main home. It's often designed for visiting family, long-term guests, or multigenerational living. Casitas typically include a bedroom, bathroom, and sometimes a small kitchenette.
ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit)
An ADU is a broader legal and architectural term for any secondary living unit on a residential property. ADU's can be detached (like a casita), attached to the main home, converted from a garage, or even built as a basement apartment. They're fully self-contained and usually include a kitchen, bath, and living space.
