A private, independent living space on your property – designed so multiple generations can share a home without sacrificing anyone's independence.
Multigenerational households are the fastest-growing housing trend in the U.S. — and for good reason. Sharing a property across generations reduces costs, strengthens family bonds, and provides a built-in support system for every stage of life.
A full Residence-configured ADU provides true independence — a private entrance, full kitchen, bathroom, and living space — while keeping family just steps away. Whether you're welcoming aging parents, supporting an adult child, or creating space for extended family, a backyard ADU delivers the privacy everyone needs without the distance nobody wants.

Models that feel like a proper second home – with the space, comfort, and character your family deserves.

A full kitchen, full bathroom, and private entrance mean every generation maintains their own daily routine – no sharing schedules, no competing for space.
Family is just steps away for daily interaction, shared meals, and mutual support – but everyone retreats to their own space at the end of the day.
Avoid the cost of assisted living, a second mortgage, or separate rent. Sharing a property across generations is one of the smartest financial decisions a family can make.
When family needs change, your ADU adapts. Convert it to a rental income property, guest house, or home office whenever the time is right.
Multigenerational is broader — it covers adult children, aging parents, extended family, or any combination of generations sharing a property. An in-law suite specifically serves aging parents with an accessibility focus. Both use the same ADU construction, but the design priorities differ.
Yes, most Central Texas ADUs share utility connections with the main home. Separate metering is optional and depends on your municipality's requirements. We advise on local regulations during your consultation.
A 400–480 SF Residence is the sweet spot. It provides enough room for a full kitchen, bathroom, living area, and sleeping space — a complete living environment without overwhelming maintenance.
Adding an ADU may increase your property's assessed value, but the rental income or cost savings from multigenerational living typically offset any tax increase. Consult your tax advisor for details specific to your situation.
