Ahwatukee Casitas & ADU Additions – Expand Your Living Space with Style

Create the Space You Need—Right Where You Are

Ahwatukee is one of Phoenix’s most desirable communities, with mountain views, peaceful neighborhoods, and strong ties to home and family. But as households evolve, space can become a challenge. Whether you need room for aging parents, independent teens, guests, or even a private home office, adding a casita or ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) may be the ideal solution.

At Homework Remodels, we specialize in designing and building high-quality casitas and ADUs tailored to your home, your lot, and your life. As a trusted design-build remodeling contractor serving Ahwatukee since 2005, we handle everything from concept to completion—making the process simple, streamlined, and highly personalized.

What Is a Casita or ADU?

A casita (Spanish for “little house”) is a fully detached or semi-attached living space—typically used as a guest house, in-law suite, or studio. An ADU, or Accessory Dwelling Unit, is a similar type of secondary residence built on your existing property. Both typically include:

• A private entrance
• Living and sleeping space
• A kitchenette or full kitchen
• A bathroom
• HVAC, insulation, and utilities

Casitas and ADUs offer privacy, flexibility, and independence for extended family or visitors—while increasing the long-term functionality and value of your property.

Why Build a Casita or ADU in Ahwatukee?

Homeowners in Ahwatukee often explore casitas and ADUs for:

• Multigenerational living – Keeping family close while maintaining privacy
• Guest accommodations – Creating a comfortable space for out-of-town visitors
• Home office or studio space – Especially post-pandemic
• Future rental income – Subject to zoning and permitting
• Aging in place – As a private suite for elderly family members
• Teen or college student retreats – Independence without leaving the property

Casitas are especially appealing in Ahwatukee due to larger lot sizes and flexible backyard access, making them a natural and harmonious addition to the property.

Design Possibilities for Your Casita or ADU

At Homework Remodels, we design every casita to complement the architectural style of the main home while meeting the unique goals of the homeowner. Some design options include:

• Detached guest houses with covered walkways or breezeways
• Attached suites with private entrances and patios
• Garage conversions into fully livable spaces
• Second-story additions over detached garages
• Backyard casitas designed to take advantage of views or shade

We’ll help you maximize comfort, privacy, and value—while complying with local building codes, HOA guidelines, and Phoenix zoning requirements.
