Garage apartments are becoming more and more popular. Not only do people love them for the utilization of extra space, but they can be great investments as well.
A garage apartment is pretty self-explanatory, but it’s the conversion of a garage into what is essentially a living space that is separate from the rest of the home. For garage apartments, you can either completely eliminate the “garage” aspect of the space, or if you have a big enough garage, you can leave space for a car to still be parked inside next to the actual living space. These tiny apartments are incredibly versatile, because you can include in them whatever you have enough space for. Some don’t have bathrooms connected, some do, but don’t have a kitchen area, and some have everything. It all depends on you and what you use the apartment for.
A garage apartment can be great if you often have friends or family who come and visit and need somewhere to sleep. This benefits you, because they’re close and you won’t have to worry about them finding a hotel to stay at across town just for them to come over every day, and it also saves your guests money, which they’ll surely appreciate.
If you could use a little extra cash, you can also choose to rent out your garage apartment. This is better than renting out a room in your home because you as well as your renter get plenty of privacy and you don’t have to worry about having a stranger in your home. This way they will have a different set of keys and won’t have free access to your home unless you want them to. This can be especially beneficial for college towns, or anyone who lives in a surrounding area. College students are always in search of affordable living spaces, so your room will never be empty.
You could also move yourself into the garage apartment and rent out the rest of your home, and that would be even more money in your pocket just to live in a smaller space. This is great for empty nesters who no longer need multiple extra bedrooms in their home, but don’t necessarily want to up and move homes completely.
In these unprecedented times, many people are now working from home. This can be quite difficult to do when you have plenty of distractions in your home, so it’s easiest to be productive in a designated workspace. Having a garage apartment can be exactly that for you! This way you have everything you need in a space separate from your home, so you have the ease of sleeping in a little later, but when the time comes you can put yourself into the working mindset and actually be productive.
Even if you just want a space to get away and relax, a garage apartment can be that for you. Since they’re so easily customizable, you can pick and choose what you want in the space and don’t bother with all of the things you don’t.
Overall, a garage apartment can add a lot of value to your home since you’ll essentially end up with two homes in one. This is going to help you get a big return on your investment and be so beneficial in the long run.
