We got featured in Architectural Digest! The article entitled “Why the ‘Granny Flat’ Is the Next Big Home Amenity” dives into why granny flats are becoming increasingly popular. They offer a variety of benefits, from creating a comfortable space for aging parents to providing rental income or a home for young adults.

In this article, Architectural Digest Pro features interviews with architects who specialize in designing functional and stylish ADUs. They discuss how to maximize space, ensure accessibility for elderly residents, and even incorporate features that blend seamlessly with existing architecture.

On the real estate investing side of things, we shared the data we recently compiled on the resale value of homes with ADUs in Alameda County versus those without. Homes with ADUs tend to sell for a higher price than comparable homes without them. There’s also a growing market of “multigenerational buyers” seeking homes with ADUs for their extended families.

Ultimately, granny flats are about more than just adding square footage. They offer a creative solution to housing needs and can strengthen family bonds.
