## ADUs and guest houses in Minneapolis & St. Paul Both cities allow accessory dwelling units on most single-family lots. That means rental income, a place for aging parents, or an adult child at home — on land you already own. **What we build** - New detached ADUs (studio through two-bedroom) - Above-garage units - Attached ADUs with a private entry - Basement conversion ADUs — by far the best return on cost **What it costs** | Type | Cost | |---|---| | Basement conversion | $70,000–$160,000 | | Garage conversion | $95,000–$180,000 | | Above detached garage | $160,000–$280,000 | | New detached unit | $180,000–$400,000 | Full breakdown in our [ADU cost guide](/blog/adu-cost-minneapolis-st-paul) and the [ADU budget worksheet](/blog/cost-to-build-an-adu-mn). **The rent math:** Twin Cities ADUs rent for roughly $1,150–$2,400/month depending on size. A basement ADU at $120,000 renting for $1,350 is close to a 10% cash yield on cost. **Start with feasibility.** Setbacks, lot coverage, height limits, size caps, and utility connections decide whether your lot works. We do a fixed-fee feasibility and budget review before anyone commits to full design.
