Real Use Cases

Homeowners Are Building Casitas For…

🏖️

Airbnb / Short-Term Rental

Phoenix is a top-10 Airbnb market. A finished casita pulls $2,000–$3,500/month on short-term platforms — especially during snowbird season (Oct–Apr). Some owners cover their entire mortgage with one backyard unit.

👨‍👩‍👧

In-Law Suite

Keep family close without losing your space. A private 1-bed casita gives your parents independence and dignity — with you right next door. No nursing home bills. No awkward couch arrangements. Just family, done right.

💼

Home Office / Studio

Remote work isn't going anywhere. A detached backyard office means zero commute, real separation from home life, and a space that adds value to your property whether you use it or rent it out later.

Questions

What Homeowners Ask Us

Do I need to rezone my property?
No. Arizona HB 2720 allows ADUs on most single-family residential lots without rezoning. If you own a house with a backyard in the Phoenix metro, you likely qualify.
How much does it cost to build a casita?
Most casitas run $80K–$150K depending on size, finishes, and site conditions. We give free estimates with no obligation — you'll know your real number before committing to anything.
Can I Airbnb it?
Yes. Short-term rentals are legal in Arizona. Many of our clients build specifically for Airbnb/VRBO income. A well-finished casita in Phoenix can pull $2K+/month on short-term platforms.
How long does the build take?
Most builds are 60–120 days from permit to keys. We handle the full process — plans, permits, construction, and final inspection.
What size casita can I build?
Up to 1,000 sq ft in most Phoenix jurisdictions. That's a full 1-bed/1-bath apartment with kitchen and living area — plenty for a renter, family member, or Airbnb guest.
