A room addition often makes sense when you love your neighborhood and lot but need more space; moving may make more sense if your needs go beyond what your property can accommodate.

Why homeowners add on

Staying put keeps your neighborhood, schools and commute while adding the space your family needs — a bedroom, office or bigger living area.

What to think through

Consider your lot size, how the addition will connect to the rest of the house and any neighborhood guidelines. Compare the full picture of costs and disruption for both options.
