Why Build an ADU

Is an ADU the Right Investment for Your Edmonds Home?

Accessory dwelling units are one of the most versatile ways to expand your living space, generate income, or support multigenerational living—without leaving the neighborhood you love.

Homeowners in Edmonds often choose to build ADUs for these reasons:

Additional living space

ADUs provide private, self-contained housing for family members, guests, or caregivers while maintaining independence.

Rental income potential

A well-designed ADU can generate long-term rental income and significantly improve your property’s overall value.

Future flexibility

Many homeowners build ADUs to support aging in place, home offices, or future resale appeal as housing needs evolve.

If you’re considering an ADU in Edmonds, our team can guide you through feasibility, design, permitting, and construction with clarity and confidence.
