ADU owners see benefits for themselves—an ADU, also known as Granny Flats, Mother-in-law units and backyard cottages, can generally pay for itself in rents received (short term, long term or a combination). Owners see benefits for their families— it can provide multi-generational housing or offer a space to downsize into upon retirement. ADU owners even provide benefits to the community— each ADU adds one more housing unit to our tight housing supply.
“I feel I’m making the best use of that space in my yard. It’s raising the value of my property and it’s helping provide another housing option for people”
-Jason, Dweller homeowner Portland, OR
Accessory Dwelling Units or ADUs are attached or detached housing units, typically in the backyards of existing single family properties.
aDUs hold the promise of dramatically expanding housing options in communities throughout the U.S. and provide needed income for homeowners
Thankfully, the opportunity to address this demand for housing has never been better. ADUs are allowed on all residential properties in Oregon and offer the most cost effective path to creating new housing units and generating income from existing residential properties.
Dweller was founded to accelerate the construction of prefab ADUs and now services all of Oregon. We specialize in building modular ADUs in residential neighborhoods and take pride in driving out the hassle and inefficiency of these projects. We build all of our units offsite, which saves substantial time and money, and we handle all aspects of the process, from site planning and permitting, to utilities, installation and landscaping. Depending on the property, we can produce a rent-ready unit in less than five months.
Our model is also unique in that Dweller builds and installs ADUs at a fixed price for a finished, installed unit. Our price includes all standard permit, installation and utility costs, but not SDC or impact fees and costs associated with non-standard utility connections and installations. To assist you with the purchase, Dweller partners with lenders offering financing specifically tailored to our ADUs and not based on the equity in your property.
With Dweller prefab ADUs, it has never been easier to add desperately needed housing and earn extra income from your property.
