Increasing Affordable Housing

WHY ADUs and DADUs ARE A GOOD THING

For the City

They increase affordable rental housing, utilize existing house stock without compromising the scale and character of neighborhoods, encourage better housing maintenance and neighborhood stability, reduce sprawl and environmental footprint, and are viable alternative to larger scale housing projects

For the Homeowner

They provide rental income, offer a private living unit for family members or friends, create aging in place opportunities and increase property values

For the Renters

They offers affordable rent and access to amenities in single family neighborhoods such as privacy, quieter environment and less traffic congestion

More in tomorrow's blog about the policy changes proposed by the City of Seattle. Stay tuned!

Happy Investing!
