Backyard Cottages as a Retirement Solution

If you’re considering downsizing to a small, efficient, high end cottage in (or outside) the city, a backyard cottage might be for you. A backyard cottage can make for a great custom home for a retired couple or even a small family. Best of all, the existing home can serve as a rental, paying off the property’s mortgage. Coming from people who live in our own custom backyard cottage, we couldn’t recommend it more.
