Should I add a pantry to my kitchen?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Adding a pantry is a smart investment for homeowners who cook regularly. A pantry provides storage for dry goods, small appliances, and bulk purchases, reducing kitchen counter clutter. Options include converting adjacent cabinet space, building a reach-in pantry between studs, or creating a walk-in pantry from unused space. A simple pantry addition costs $1,000 to $5,000. Walk-in pantries with shelving cost $3,000 to $10,000. Pantries are a highly desirable feature for homebuyers.

Why It Matters

A pantry adds storage and organization to your kitchen, making meal prep easier and keeping your main kitchen space clean and uncluttered.
