What is ADU?
An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a small, secondary housing unit built on the same property as a single-family home. They are often designed to provide extra living space, generate rental income, or create a private area for family members. ADUs come in various forms, such as:
ADUs typically include basic amenities like a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area, making them self-contained homes. They’re popular in areas with high housing costs as they provide affordable living solutions without requiring new land development.
Detached ADU
A separate building, often located in the backyard.
Attached ADU
An addition to the main house with its own entrance.
Garage Conversion
Converting an existing garage into a living unit.
Basement or Attic Conversion
Transforming a basement or attic into an independent unit.
