DADU Questions, Answered

How much does a DADU cost in Seattle?

Most detached ADUs in the Seattle–Bellevue area run $250,000–$450,000+, driven by size, site access, utility connections, and finishes. A garage conversion to a DADU can come in lower. Every Blue Lake DADU is quoted as a fixed price before construction starts.

What's the difference between an ADU and a DADU?

An ADU is built inside or attached to your existing home — a basement suite or an addition. A DADU (detached accessory dwelling unit) is a separate backyard structure such as a cottage or converted garage, with its own entrance, kitchen, and bathroom.

How long does a DADU take to build?

Expect 5–9 months of construction after permits, plus 2–4 months of design and permitting. A realistic full timeline is 9–14 months from first consultation to keys.

Do DADUs make good rental investments?

In the Seattle market a well-built DADU commonly rents long-term for $2,000–$3,200+ per month and adds appraised value to the property. Many of our clients build DADUs specifically as rental or multigenerational housing.
