3 Sonoma Homeowners Share Why Adding an ADU Was the Best Decision They Made
As housing demands rise and Sonoma’s popularity as a destination grows, more homeowners are discovering the unique advantages of adding an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) to their properties. Here, three Sonoma residents share their personal experiences and why investing in an ADU was one of the best decisions they’ve made.
1. Claire – “My ADU gave me a new income stream without sacrificing my lifestyle.”
“When I decided to add an ADU, I was thinking of it mainly as a way to welcome family and friends with their own space. Little did I know it would become a valuable source of income. I rent it out to visitors when it’s not occupied by family, and it’s amazing how much it has paid off. Living in Sonoma means there’s a constant demand for beautiful, local accommodation, and the extra income has given me more flexibility for things like home improvements and vacations.
My ADU is more than just a unit on my property; it’s an investment that’s added both financial stability and value to my home. Plus, I love knowing I can offer guests a comfortable and unique place to stay!”
2. Mark – “The ADU created a sense of community right in my backyard.”
“Sonoma is a tight-knit community, and I wanted to offer something special to my family. When I added my ADU, it initially served as a guest space for visiting family, which was fantastic. Then, when my daughter needed a place to live while starting her career, the ADU was there for her. It’s been a perfect way to keep family close while still respecting everyone’s privacy.
The ADU has created a mini-community on my property—my daughter even hosts dinners there occasionally. I can’t imagine my property without it now, and the added space has brought us even closer together.”
3. Sofia – “Building an ADU was the best way to plan for the future.”
“My husband and I added an ADU to our Sonoma property as part of our retirement plan. We live in such a beautiful area, and we wanted to have an option to downsize in the future. Right now, we use it as a rental property, and it’s helping us save for retirement. Sonoma’s scenic charm attracts visitors year-round, so there’s no shortage of people interested in staying here.
Looking forward, our ADU gives us peace of mind. We know we’ll have the flexibility to use it however we need, whether as a rental or our own living space. It’s the best investment we’ve made for our future and our family.”
