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.

 

What We Build

  • Detached Casitas
    Custom structures from 400–1,000 square feet with full kitchens, bathrooms, sleeping areas, and private outdoor space.
