3 Creative Ways to Use a Prafab ADU on Your Property
In today's dynamic housing landscape, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have emerged as versatile solutions for homeowners seeking to maximize their property's potential. These compact, self-contained living spaces can serve various purposes, from accommodating extended family members to generating rental income or providing dedicated workspaces. Phoenix Haus specializes in crafting prefab ADUs that are not only functional but also exemplify sustainability and longevity. Built with non-toxic, wood-based materials and designed to meet Passive House standards, these structures offer superior energy efficiency and a healthy living environment.
With a commitment to quality and innovation, Phoenix Haus delivers ADUs that can be installed in just one day, providing homeowners with a seamless and eco-friendly way to enhance their property and living space for generations to come.
Phoenix Haus, based in Grand Junction, Colorado, builds high-quality prefab homes and ADUs that can be installed in mountain regions of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho, and Washington. Our most popular ADU Model is the newly released, turnkey H2|7 model, offering 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom across 700 SF of living space. This model can fit perfectly in most backyard spaces, and it will increase the value (and enjoyment) of your property overnight. H2|7 comes with pre-installed windows and doors, interior finishes, electric, plumbing & siding for an all-in price of $323K. We save you time on-site and you save on installation fees and guesswork!
Here are some ways we’ve seen our customers use their ADU:
1. Rental Income Unit
Turn your H2-7 prefab ADU into a short-term or long-term rental for passive income. A prefab ADU can be a great opportunity to generate rental income on your property. Whether utilized as a short-term vacation rental or a long-term lease, these self-contained homes can provide a steady revenue stream. Short-term rentals, especially in high-demand areas, can yield higher monthly returns, while long-term rentals offer consistent income with less turnover and maintenance on your end. Prefab ADUs, like those offered by Phoenix Haus, are designed for efficiency and sustainability, ensuring lower maintenance costs and energy savings over time. We are now offering fully installed cabinetry, siding, electrical wiring, plumbing and interior finishes to reduce the time it takes to get a certificate of occupancy, so you can start renting your ADU in record time! The faster we build it, the faster you can start earning a return on your investment!
*Before proceeding, it's essential to research local zoning laws and rental regulations to ensure compliance. With thoughtful planning, a prefab ADU can be a valuable addition, enhancing both your property's functionality and financial potential.
2. Guest Suite for Family and Friends
A prefab ADU is a perfect solution for hosting family and friends, providing them with a cozy, private space to stay comfortably—no air mattress needed! With a separate entrance, guests can enjoy their visit without the need for constant hosting, allowing both you and your visitors to maintain privacy and independence. Phoenix Haus's H2|7 model exemplifies this concept, featuring a dedicated living area where guests can relax and unwind. Designed with sustainability and comfort in mind, the H2|7 ensures a healthy environment through non-toxic materials and energy-efficient construction. This thoughtful design not only enhances your property's functionality but also provides a welcoming retreat for your loved ones.
3. Aging-in-Place Residence
A prefab ADU offers an ideal solution for aging parents or relatives who desire independence but want to be close to family. The Phoenix Haus H2|7 model is thoughtfully designed with aging in place in mind, featuring a single-story layout with minimal steps and step-ups to ensure ease of access for all ages. This downsized, accessible home provides a private entrance and a comfortable living space right on your property, allowing loved ones to maintain their autonomy without the need for costly assisted living facilities, which can average between $4,000 and $8,000 per month depending on location and services provided. By integrating a sustainable, energy-efficient ADU like the H2|7 into your property, you can offer a supportive environment for your aging family members. Strengthening family connections for generations to come is an important part of the Phoenix Haus mission statement, and we love that an ADU can provide just that.
