A house plan with an in-law suite is a design that includes private accommodations ideal for in-laws. Some designs feature a simple bedroom suite while other have full apartments with access from inside the main house as well as outside. The suite or apartment can be placed anywhere, so make sure to explore the different floor plans to find the right location—on the main level, in the basement, over the garage, etc.—for your needs.
Many families prefer homes with in-law suites because they make it easier to host guests and family, both short- and long-term. If you have a multigenerational household, you can keep your parents or kids close while still allowing them their own space. Full in-law apartments are in high demand, so even if you don't have family to move in, you can rent the space out to bring in some income. As you can imagine, this feature is great for resale, too!
The short answer is yes, because bathrooms and kitchens are the most expensive parts of building a house and homes with in-law suites have more space dedicated to these rooms. That said, they're less expensive than building a house with separate, detached in-law accommodations. Many of the designs that include this feature are also larger to begin with, but take a look around and you'll find some more modest options with room for in-laws!
