If your lot is tight, building up can be an option. Second-story additions can:
- unlock views and light
- add bedrooms without sacrificing yard space
But they can also add complexity:
- structural engineering
- construction impact (often harder to live in during the work)
- stairs and circulation planning
The right choice depends on your lot, existing structure, budget, and lifestyle.
