ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit)

Modern designs, practical functionality, smart investments.

What is an ADU?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary residential unit built on the same lot as a primary home. ADUs can be detached, attached, or converted from existing spaces like garages or basements. These units have fully independent living facilities, including a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area. ADUs provide flexible housing solutions and increase property value without requiring additional land development.

Common types of ADUs include:

Detached ADU – A standalone structure separate from the main house.
Attached ADU – An addition to the existing home with a separate entrance.
Garage Conversion ADU – Converting an existing garage into a livable unit.
Basement or Attic ADU – Transforming underutilized space into a functional living area.

Why Build an ADU?

Homeowners build ADUs for various reasons, including:

Rental Income

ADUs provide a steady stream of rental income, helping homeowners offset mortgage costs and increase financial stability.

Multi-Generational Living

ADUs create an independent yet close housing solution for aging parents, adult children, or extended family members.

Increased Property Value

Adding an ADU enhances property value, making it more attractive to future buyers and investors.

Work-from-Home Space

Many homeowners use ADUs as home offices, creative studios, or guest houses, offering a private and productive environment.

Future Planning & Downsizing

Some homeowners plan to move into the ADU while renting out the main house for additional income and lower living expenses.
