What is an ADU?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary, independent living space on the same property as your primary residence. It's a complete home with its own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and living area—perfect for rental income, multigenerational living, or guest accommodations.
INDEPENDENT LIVING
A fully self-contained dwelling unit with separate entrance, utilities, and amenities. Perfect for guests, family members, or tenants.
PROPERTY VALUE
ADUs increase your property's market value and appeal. Studies show properties with ADUs command 15-25% premium in resale value.
RENTAL INCOME
Generate $1,500-$2,500+ monthly rental income. In the Twin Cities, demand for quality rental housing remains strong year-round.

Whether you're an investor seeking cash flow or a homeowner wanting to maximize your property, ADUs offer tailored solutions for both.

ASKED QUESTION
-
Yes, but the savings come from efficiency, not cheap materials. By using a factory-controlled environment, we eliminate "change order" surprises, weather delays, and material theft/damage. These efficiencies allow us to deliver a superior, high-tech product at a price point typically more competitive than a high-end custom site-build. You get more "house" for every dollar spent.
-
Yes. Every Hopewell360 home is designed to be "Net-Zero Ready." This means we integrate modern energy technology from the start, including high-performance insulation and energy-efficient appliances. We offer solar-ready roofing and can facilitate the installation of full renewable energy arrays, allowing your home to produce as much energy as it consumes.
-
Absolutely. The "Deliver" phase of our process is designed to take the weight off your shoulders. We manage the complexities of local zoning, permitting, and inspections within your specific Minnesota municipality. Because our modules are pre-inspected in the factory to state standards, the on-site inspection process is often much smoother and faster than a traditional build.
