What Exactly Is an ADU?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a private, self-contained living space on the same property as a single-family home. ADUs generate rental income, support multigenerational living, and boost borrowing power. R5 Homes leads Utah in building FLEX-ADU homes, designed with integrated floor plans, soundproofing, and private entrances—making homeownership more affordable and future-proof.
What is A Built-in ADU?
A built-in ADU, like the R5 FLEX-ADU, is a fully integrated suite designed for privacy, flexibility, and independence. Unlike detached units, it’s built into the home’s footprint with its own entrance, kitchen, bath, parking, and comfort systems. Adaptable by design, it can serve as a rental, multigenerational suite, or unified home—offering income potential, privacy, and lasting value.
R5 FLEX-ADU Home Benefits
A Home That Pays You Back
An ADU turns your basement into a steady income, cutting your costs and giving you freedom to invest in your future.
Rent Covered, Rate Crushed
The future rental income potential from your ADU can boost your borrowing power allowed by lenders, letting you afford a home you truly love. R5’s optional rent assurance program further gives you more peace of mind with predictable income.
Together, But Not on Top of Each Other
Host loved ones or rent out your ADU with complete peace of mind. Separate systems and private access keep everyone comfortable and independent.
All the Income. None of the Headaches
R5’s property management team takes care of tenants, repairs, and rent, so your ADU works for you—not the other way around.
The Home That Grows With You
An R5 FLEX-ADU isn’t just for today—it’s built to adapt, earn income, and outpace traditional homes in value for years to come.
