We’re excited to kick off our Just Shipped series with a special delivery to Danielle K. in Turlock, California! Danielle has purchased a 400 sq. ft. expandable prefab container home to use as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in her backyard, with the goal of creating additional rental income. Container homes are not only affordable but versatile, and this ADU will serve as a valuable income source for Danielle as she enhances her property.
This article will dive into the shipping journey, the purpose of this container home, and why Turlock is a perfect location for expanding rental options like this.
Danielle ordered a 400 sq. ft. expandable container home, one of our most popular models due to its affordability, quick setup, and ability to adapt to various needs. This unit comes fully equipped with:
This compact yet highly functional home is designed for renters who want a space that is both stylish and practical, and it will fit perfectly in Danielle’s backyard in Turlock. The best part? It arrives ready to set up, so she can start renting it out almost immediately.
In recent years, many California homeowners have embraced Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) as a way to create additional income streams. ADUs are small, independent housing units that can be added to existing properties—ideal for renting out, offering flexible living spaces for family members, or serving as a home office.
Danielle plans to use her new container home as a rental property, leveraging the demand for affordable housing in Turlock. With rising rental costs across California, creating an ADU is a smart investment that allows her to provide a cost-effective living option for tenants while generating passive income.
Turlock, located in the heart of California’s Central Valley, is a growing city with a population of over 73,000. Known for its agriculture-driven economy, Turlock is an ideal setting for homeowners looking to maximize their property’s value by adding an ADU. The city has a strong rental market, thanks to its proximity to California State University, Stanislaus, and the growing demand for housing among students, young professionals, and families.
The average rent in Turlock is over $1,300 per month for a one-bedroom apartment . With an ADU, Danielle could tap into this market by offering affordable rental housing while staying below average market rates. Additionally, California’s push for increased ADU development—thanks to new zoning laws that support housing densification—makes this a perfect time to invest in a container home for rental use.
For homeowners in Turlock and other California cities, ADUs are a great way to increase property value and make the most out of underutilized land. In Danielle’s case, her container home will not only enhance her property but also offer affordable housing options for locals.
Danielle placed her order for the 400 sq. ft. expandable prefab container home just over a month ago. The entire process—from designing the home to loading it onto the truck—has been smooth and efficient.
Here’s a quick look at the journey so far:
