Types of ADUs in Applewood
We build every type allowed under Jefferson County rules and tailored to Applewood’s classic ranch and tri-level homes:
Applewood Detached ADUs (Backyard Cottages)
Standalone 600–1,200 sq ft cottages with full kitchen, bath, laundry, and private entrance — currently renting for $2,500–$3,500/month in the area.
Applewood Attached ADUs
Side or rear additions connected to your home — perfect for multigenerational families who want closeness with independence.
Applewood Garage & Above-Garage ADUs
Convert your existing two- or three-car garage, or build new living space above it — the fastest, most cost-effective option.
Applewood Basement ADUs
Turn your walk-out or garden-level basement into a completely separate rental unit with private entrance — hugely popular in Applewood tri-levels.
Applewood Custom ADUs
Unique designs: home office + guest suite combos, art studios, gym + sauna retreats — whatever you need.
Why Applewood Homeowners Choose ADUs
Applewood’s larger lots and lack of restrictive HOAs make it one of the easiest and most profitable places in the entire metro to build a legal rental unit. A well-built 800 sq ft ADU can add $250,000+ to your home’s value while generating $30,000–$42,000/year in rental income — all in a neighborhood families never want to leave.
Why ADUs Are a Smart Investment in Applewood
Applewood is one of the few established west-metro neighborhoods where ADUs are easy, profitable, and highly desirable. Buyers pay a premium for homes that already have a legal rental unit — and you get to enjoy the income (or family space) for years first.

Addressing Your Biggest Applewood ADU Concerns
Applewood ADU projects usually come with a few high-stakes questions—protecting mature trees, confirming the rental upside, and making sure parking and neighborhood impacts are handled correctly. We treat tree protection as a standard practice, planning access routes carefully to minimize disturbance and preserve the character of your lot. On the income side, well-designed Applewood ADUs are leasing quickly—often within 1–3 days—when priced at top market rates, and we’ll help you build a unit that tenants actively compete for. And because parking, setbacks, and neighbor considerations can make or break approvals, we design compliant solutions from day one so your ADU is straightforward to permit, easy to live in, and truly rental-ready.
