Build A New Accessory Dwelling Unit
What Are Accessory Dwelling Units?
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU), is a separate living area on a property with an existing primary residence. ADUs, sometimes called granny flats or backyard cottages, are cost-effective housing options because homeowners can create new living spaces without buying property. These secondary dwelling units offer the same amenities as a standard home, but with less overall square footage.
An ADU can include:
- Converting existing garage space
- Apartments built over garages
- A small house built in a backyard
Why Build an ADU?
One of the main reasons to build an ADU is flexibility. Whether you are looking to gain a bit more income by renting out unused areas of your home, or you want to be able to adequately care for family members, an ADU may be a great choice. If your main living space is starting to feel too cramped, adding an ADU could be a good option for your household.
The Benefits of Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit
- Multigenerational Living: A lot of homes in Southern California can run on the small side. Adding an ADU to your property adds flexibility to you and your family’s life, like giving your parents (or your adult children) a space to live.
- Investment Opportunities: Putting money into upgrading your property almost always provides a great return on investment. An ADU can provide a additional income stream or increase the overall value of your property when ready to sell your home.
- Endless Versatility: Whether you need a remote workspace, home gym, hobby room or guest house, an ADU can be your solution.
