Tempe ADU Market

Why Tempe Homeowners Are Building Casitas

Tempe is one of the tightest rental markets in the Phoenix metro. With Arizona State University, a growing downtown, and major employers like Insight, Carvana, and the ASU Research Park nearby, demand for rental housing consistently outpaces supply. This means faster tenant placement, lower vacancy rates, and competitive rental pricing for casita owners. Whether you're near the ASU campus, in South Tempe, or in the neighborhoods around Tempe Town Lake, a casita is a high-demand asset.

Tempe homeowners build casitas primarily for rental income โ€” the numbers are hard to ignore. A 2-bedroom Saguaro near ASU can generate $1,800โ€“$2,200/month in rent, often covering the HELOC payment with cash left over. Tempe's walkable neighborhoods and strong transit access also make casitas attractive to tenants who want convenience without full apartment pricing.
