What is an ADU?
An accessory dwelling unit, usually just called an ADU, is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. The term “accessory dwelling unit” might sound institutional, but it’s the most commonly-used term across the country to describe this type of housing. Because the full name is a mouthful, we use the shorthand “ADU” instead.
Some ADUs advantages...
- Maximize use of space in a formerly unused portion of your property
- Provide empty nesters and others with the option of moving into a smaller space while renting out their larger house
- Let an adult child and his or her family reside in it
- Adds value to your property
- Adds guest quarters for family and friends to comfortably stay with you during visits
- An ADU can be the perfect space for a home office
