Accessory Dwelling Units by Riverwood Homes

Build an ADU So Inviting, You Won’t Need a Getaway

Expand your living space and increase your property’s value with a custom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) from Riverwood Homes. Whether you’re looking to create a guest house, rental property, or an independent living space for family members, our team specializes in designing and building high-quality ADUs that meet your needs and local regulations.

What is an ADU?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary residential unit located on the same property as a primary home. ADUs can take many forms, including detached units, attached units, or conversions of existing spaces like garages or basements. These versatile spaces are perfect for a variety of uses, from housing relatives to generating rental income.
Why Choose an ADU?
  • Increased Property Value: ADUs are a smart investment that can significantly boost the value of your property.
  • Rental Income: Generate passive income by renting out your ADU.
  • Flexible Living Arrangements: Create a private space for guests, family members, or a home office.
  • Aging in Place: ADUs provide an ideal solution for independent living while staying close to loved ones.

Custom ADU Design & Construction

At Riverwood Homes, we understand that every homeowner has unique needs and visions for their ADU. Our custom design and construction services ensure that your ADU is not only functional but also aesthetically cohesive with your primary residence. From initial concept to final build, we work closely with you to create a space that enhances your property and lifestyle.
ADU Types We Offer
  • Detached ADUs: Standalone units separate from the main house, offering maximum privacy.
  • Attached ADUs: Connected to your existing home, often with a separate entrance for convenience.
  • Garage Conversions: Transform your unused garage into a fully functional living space.
  • Basement ADUs: Make the most of your basement by converting it into an independent living area.

Building an ADU involves navigating local zoning laws, permits, and building codes. Riverwood Homes has extensive experience in managing these requirements in Colorado Springs and surrounding areas. We ensure that your ADU project complies with all regulations, making the process smooth and hassle-free for you.
