WHAT IS AN ADU

WHAT IS AN ADU?

An additional accessory unit, also known as an ADU, is a self-contained living space added to a single-family home, often located in the backyard. ADUs are designed to provide extra living space for homeowners, such as a separate living quarters for family members or as a rental unit for additional income.

ADUs can come in different forms, including a detached unit, attached unit, or a conversion of an existing space within the home. They typically have their own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and living area, and are usually smaller than the main house.

 

ADUs have become increasingly popular in recent years as a way to increase housing density in urban areas, provide affordable housing options, and allow homeowners to age in place or accommodate multi-generational living arrangements. They may also be known by other names, such as granny flats, backyard cottages, or in-law units.
