Rathdrum, Idaho allows more ADUs in residential areas

In a recent article, the Coeur d’Alene Press reported that the City of Rathdrum, Idaho is updating its codes to allow for the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in more residential areas. The move comes as the city is seeing an increase in homeowners with college-aged or elderly family members staying or moving back home, leading to a demand for more affordable housing options.

ADUs in Residential Areas

According to Josa Snow, the city is responding to this demand by updating. Its construction codes to allow for ADUs in more residential areas. ADUs, also known as granny flats or in-law units, offer additional living space on a property. That can be rented out to help offset the cost of a mortgage or even turn a profit for the homeowner.

The city of Rathdrum is not alone in recognizing the potential of ADUs as a solution to the affordable housing crisis. Across the country, many cities and towns are updating their codes to allow for the construction of ADUs. As a way to meet the growing demand for affordable housing.

Incredible experience working with Porter on The Elm model. First of all he was reachable meaning we were able to speak with him at the outset when we were strongly interested and had questions and then throughout the whole process. Quick to send additional photos, pics. He was alwayys professional, knowledgeable and kind! Highly recommend!

Getting close to retirement...we learned that Debbie and Porter were with the Snake River Tiny Homes and we couldn't resist looking. The different models are great and the finishes and trims let you personalize them to what works best for you.We have known Debbie and Porter for some years now and have found them to be some of the best people there are. You can count on what ever they tell you being spot on! As we get closer, it's going to be difficult making a decision between these great models.

These tiny homes are beautiful! They have everything you need! Very sturdy, sound proof, and modern. We were helped right away. Mr. Talbot answered all the questions we had, and shared additional information that was very helpful too. I didn’t feel like I was being pressured into anything either which was really nice! Over all it was a great experience!

My husband and I went to check out one of their tiny homes. Mr. Talbot was an amazing host. He told us about all the cool features and answered all the questions we had. The place was cozy and updated, and they had done an amazing job with staging it. 10/10 would recommend this company.

Visited on Saturday. The salesman Porter was very helpful in answering most of our question. Lovely tiny homes. They seem solid and very well built. Not at all like an RV or even manufactured home. Much better quality. It would be great if our plan was to take it away from the area. But for our purposes there remains one big problem, a place to put it. Idaho Falls, and the surrounding area does not have any “tiny home” communities and I’m not about to put this adorable home into any of the local mobile home parks where there seem to be a lack of rules or covenants concerning the way people care for (or don’t care for) their homes. So although these might be great for someone who has their own land in which to put this, it won’t work for us. But we would certainly consider this should things change.
