Replacing a patio with an accessory dwelling in San Jose

When Mary looked at the large brick patio in her backyard in San Jose, she saw the potential to dramatically increase the value of her home. She hired New Avenue to create a 700-square-foot accessory dwelling.

Mary’s New Avenue design professional designed a home with a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom, a living/dining area, laundry facilities, and a study. The terrain required special consideration, and the designer worked with both the site and the client’s wishes to create a comfortable, beautiful ADU.

How much rent can I get for a backyard ADU in San Jose?

A nice one-bedroom home with a study like this will pay for itself in rental income. In San Jose, this rental home would bring in $3500 or more in rent. That’s enough to make mortgage payments on both the ADU and the main home.

The best part about a large ADU like this one is that it’s so versatile. It will last for generations, and in that time it can be a rental property, a home for family, extra space for the owner, or the owner’s residence while she rents out the main home.
