Utah homeowners, are you curious about how Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are transforming our neighborhoods while combating rising housing prices? Let’s dive into how some Utah cities are leading the charge and making it easier for residents to expand their properties and add value to their homes.
The Rise of ADUs in Utah
Housing prices in Utah are climbing, and many homeowners are feeling the pinch. To address this, cities across the state have turned to ADUs as a creative and practical solution. ADUs, also known as mother-in-law apartments or backyard cottages, allow homeowners to add secondary units to their properties, creating more affordable housing options.
Here’s a look at how some cities are making it happen.
Farmington: Making ADUs Easier for Homeowners
Farmington is ahead of the game when it comes to promoting ADUs. By cutting down on regulations, the city is encouraging homeowners to convert their basements or add detached units to their properties. This approach helps homeowners generate rental income quickly, offsetting their mortgage or other expenses, while also increasing the overall housing supply and making housing more affordable for the community.
Millcreek: ADUs as a Tool for Home Affordability
Millcreek has embraced ADUs as a way to help residents afford their homes. With property prices soaring, many homeowners are looking for ways to offset costs. ADUs provide an ideal solution by allowing homeowners to generate rental income without needing to relocate. This helps cover rising living costs and maintains community stability by allowing families to stay in their homes rather than moving due to financial pressures.
St. George: Family-Focused ADUs
St. George is seeing a surge in ADU applications, especially from families looking to keep their loved ones close. Whether it’s for elderly parents or young adult children, ADUs offer families the flexibility they need. Since 2020, the city has seen a major increase in homeowners adding ADUs to create additional space for relatives—all while keeping housing affordable. This approach helps create more connected communities, fosters stronger family bonds, and eases the pressure of rising home costs.
Why ADUs Are a Game-Changer for Utah Homeowners
ADUs aren’t just a trend—they’re a practical solution for Utah homeowners who want to make their properties work harder for them. Whether you’re in Farmington, Millcreek, St. George, or anywhere else in Utah, ADUs offer several benefits:
- Increased Property Value: Adding an ADU can significantly boost your home’s value.
- Rental Income: Offset your mortgage or other expenses by renting out the ADU.
- Flexible Living Arrangements: Create space for family members, whether it’s a parent, grown child, or even a friend in need.
