what is a casita

A casita is a small self-contained dwelling, typically unattached from a main home, but on the same property. The term "casita" means "little house" in Spanish. Casitas are growing in popularity and are used for a variety of purposes, such as a guest house, additional storage space, a private home office, or a studio. They offer more privacy for guests and can also be used as a separate living space for older children who want to move out but dont have the finances to live on their own yet. Depending on the home and neighborhood, there may be special regulations or restrictions regarding zoning laws. The design of a casita is up to individual needs and budget. Casitas are particularly popular throughout the Southern states, including Texas.
