Why Are Accessory Dwelling Units Trending?
In this era, making viral videos is easy, but making a housing scheme trend doesn’t sound that simple. Accessory Dwelling Units or modular flats are becoming more common in Colorado than you think. But why is that happening? And what even is an ADU? Let’s get into what modular flats are and why they are becoming popular.
What is a Modular Flat?
A modular flat, also known as a granny flat, mother-in-law suite, accessory dwelling unit, etc., is a small living area that is built at a vacant space around or inside your residential home. Flex flats are small in size, which is why they don’t occupy much space.
Another great advantage is that these flats are 90% made at the factory, so you don’t have to worry about labour being at your doorstep for months. Modular flats are built within a month in a factory and then assembled within 2 hours on the delivery day.
Why Are ADUs Trending?
Now you know what an accessory dwelling unit is, but do you know why it’s trending? Because of the multiple benefits it provides. These flex flats can be used for multiple purposes and are affordable as well. What could be better than that?
Extra Income
A great and popular way to use a flex flat is to convert it into a rental property. Colorado’s rental prices are high, so you will benefit way more than your initial investment. But, for this, you must get a detached ADU built.
A detached ADU is a small house that is not directly attached to the residential home. If the rental property is attached to your home, your privacy might be invaded. Which is why we suggest you get a detached ADU if you want to make it a rental property.
A detached ADU might be a bit more expensive, but you can recover that through the rent. Also, according to Colorado’s new ADU law, you don’t have to live in the residential home to get an ADU built. Which means you can put both properties on the rental market.
Personal Use
If you want to get an accessory dwelling unit built just for personal use, an attached ADU is a better option, as it will be more affordable and closer. You can use it as a personal gym, an office, a relaxing space, or anything of your choice.
Affordable Tiny Home
Another advantage of a flex flat is that it resolves space issues at affordable prices. Home prices in Colorado have been increasing day by day, and people are facing housing problems.
Accessory dwelling Units have their own entrance, kitchen, and sleeping area. It can even have 2 bedrooms if you have enough space to get a 725 sq ft. one built. It’s like a small spare house you can use, however you like.
Increase Property Value
After providing you with so many benefits, it even helps increase the value of your property. Modular flats help maximize the profitability of a property. And if you want to only sell your residential home and not your ADU, you can get a moveable one!
Yes, you heard that right, modular flats can be movable as well. When we decorate our homes, we get attached to them, and if you are attached to your tiny house, you can just take it with you.
