When Nadia’s husband passed away suddenly, the five-bedroom home where they had raised their family no longer fit the life she wanted—but she wasn’t ready to leave the property she loved.
Her solution was to build a small home in her own backyard and rent out the larger house. That decision allowed her to remain rooted, create rental income, travel, and begin a new chapter.
In this episode of Let’s Talk Tiny, Cindy talks with Nadia’s builder, Brad Jones, founder and owner of Tiny Homes of Tucson. Using Nadia’s project as our guide, Brad takes us from the first property evaluation to the day she moved into her completed ADU.
We discuss:
• How to determine whether your property qualifies for an ADU
• The differences between an ADU, tiny home, casita, and guest house
• Zoning, setbacks, access, and utility connections
• The costs and complications homeowners may not anticipate
• Designing for accessibility, privacy, storage, and changing needs
• Questions to ask before hiring an ADU builder
• What to determine before spending money on plans
Could an ADU help your property continue serving you as your life changes? Tell us in the comments what you would use a backyard home for.
