What is an ADU?
ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit and they might just be your next home concept.
You might know ADUs by their other, quasi-affectionate names such as granny-flats, mother-in-law-apartments and so on. They are dwellings–either attached or detached from a main house–that exist on a lot with another house. Many ADUs are buit above garages, but also can be built free-standing on same parcel of land as the main dwelling.
ADUs have myriad benefits such as:
Creating a secondary rental income.
Increasing the occupancy of a given plot of land.
Creating more communal living, while still providing autonomy and privacy for both homes.
People who may have once needed a large home–e.g. parents whose children have moved out–can move into the ADU and rent out the main home.
ADUs are not lean-to’s; they are real structures that sometimes can require building permits.
