What is an ADU?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary, self-contained residential unit located on the same lot as a primary home. Often called a granny flat, in-law suite, or backyard cottage, an ADU includes its own kitchen, bathroom, and living space, providing a fully functional home within your property. ADUs are a smart solution for maximizing space, increasing property value, and addressing housing needs.
Types of ADUs
ADUs come in all shapes and sizes, designed to fit your property and lifestyle needs. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular types:
Detached ADU
-
A fully independent structure, separate from the main house.
-
Homeowners with spacious lots who want privacy and versatility.
-
Complete design freedom, private entrance, and independent utilities.
-
Picture a backyard guest house or a stylish rental unit that pays for itself.
Attached ADU

Built as an addition to your home or cleverly integrated into the existing structure.

Why an ADU Is the Ultimate Upgrade?
Building an ADU isn’t just about adding space—it’s about unlocking new possibilities for your property.
Here’s why homeowners love them:
Increased Property Value
An ADU is more than just an addition—it’s a long-term investment. Adding one can significantly boost your home’s resale value, making it a smart financial move.
Rental Income
Turn your ADU into a steady source of passive income by renting it out. It’s an easy way to achieve financial stability while maximizing your property’s potential.
Multi-Generational Living
Create a comfortable, private space for elderly parents, adult children, or extended family. ADUs make multi-generational living seamless without compromising privacy.
Maximized Use of Space
Transform underutilized areas like garages or large backyards into functional, livable spaces. ADUs make every square foot of your property work harder for you.
Sustainability
ADUs are an eco-friendly housing solution. By sharing land and utilities, they reduce environmental impact while providing efficient and affordable living spaces.
Flexibility
An ADU can be anything you need it to be—a guesthouse, home office, gym, studio, or long-term living space. The possibilities are truly endless!
