Why Scottsdale Homeowners Choose Casitas & ADUs
- Luxury Living for Guests or Family
Scottsdale homeowners often add detached or attached casitas to host family, create in-law suites, or prepare for aging in place with comfort and privacy. - Private Retreats for Homeowners
Think art studios, yoga pavilions, or remote work havens with upscale finishes and indoor-outdoor flow. - Income-Generating Guest Houses
Accessory dwellings in areas like South Scottsdale and near Old Town can function as stylish vacation rentals or long-term income properties. - Increase Property Value in Premium Neighborhoods
In communities like McCormick Ranch, Gainey Ranch, and North Scottsdale, adding a well-designed casita boosts both livability and resale appeal.
