In a city like Washington, DC, where space is limited, housing costs continue to rise, and demand for flexible living solutions is high many homeowners are searching for smarter ways to maximize their property.
One of the most effective solutions is also one of the most underutilized: Accessory Dwelling Units, or ADUs.
At Lofft Construction, we believe ADUs are the future of urban living, offering homeowners income potential, flexibility, and long-term value.
What is an ADU?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary housing unit built on the same lot as a primary residence.
They can take several forms: detached backyard cottages, attached home additions, or converted interior spaces like basements and garages.
All ADUs are fully functional living spaces, with kitchens, bathrooms, and private entrances. Essentially, they turn unused or underutilized space into valuable living and income-generating opportunities.
Why Build an ADU in DC?
ADUs are versatile, practical, and increasingly popular for homeowners in DC. They can:
Generate rental income, providing a reliable source of revenue in a strong rental market.
Increase property value, making your home more attractive to future buyers.
Support multigenerational living, offering private, comfortable space for family members.
Adapt to your lifestyle, whether as a guest suite, home office, or creative studio.
A recent Lofft project on Foxhall Road shows how a thoughtfully designed ADU can seamlessly blend into a neighborhood while unlocking revenue and lifestyle potential for homeowners.
