Can I add an ADU to any property?

Not all properties are suitable for an ADU. Factors such as lot size, zoning laws, and existing structures play a role. A feasibility study is essential to determine if an ADU can be built. In Burlingame, working with a professional who understands local regulations can help. It is important to assess the property thoroughly before starting the project.

ADUs, when built with quality materials and proper maintenance, can last for several decades. Just like any other building, the lifespan of an ADU depends on regular upkeep. It is essential to follow a maintenance schedule, addressing any repairs promptly. With proper care, ADUs can serve multiple generations. Burlingame homeowners should consider both initial construction quality and long-term maintenance.

Yes, building an ADU can significantly increase property value. An ADU adds functional living space, which is attractive to potential buyers. In Burlingame, where property values are high, an ADU can be a valuable investment. Additionally, the rental income potential of an ADU adds to its appeal. Real estate markets often favor properties with versatile living spaces.

Yes, ADUs can be used for short-term rentals, but it depends on local regulations. Burlingame may have specific rules regarding short-term rentals like Airbnb.
