While adding on to your home may cost an average of $100 per square foot, a garage could cost you much less. Depending on what part of the country you're building in you could be building a garage for as little as $20 per square foot. Now, keep in mind that there's an apartment above the garage, so your cost is going to go up.

Other families prefer to have their aging parents actually live with them in their home, but instead of simply giving them a bedroom, they create a full apartment contained within the home. The parents may live in an apartment above the garage for instance, or in a refinished basement designed specifically for them.
