Create a New Living Space
What Are ADUs?
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a separate living space on a property with an existing main home. ADUs, often known as granny flats or backyard cottages, are affordable housing options because homeowners can add new living areas without needing to buy more land. These extra units provide the same features as a regular home but have less total space.
An ADU can include:
- Converting a garage
- Creating apartments above garages
- Building a small house in the backyard
Why Build an ADU?
One main reason to build an ADU is flexibility. Whether you want to earn extra money by renting out part of your home or need space to care for family members, an ADU could be a good option. If your home feels too small, adding an ADU might be a smart choice.
The Benefits of Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit
- Multigenerational Living: Many homes in Southern California are small. Adding an ADU to your property gives you and your family more options, like a place for your parents or adult children to live.
- Investment Opportunities: Upgrading your property usually offers a good return. An ADU can create extra income or boost your property’s value when you sell.
- Endless Versatility: Need a home office, gym, hobby room, or guest space? An ADU can meet your needs.
Consider Your Options
How you add an ADU to your property depends on the space you have. If you own a garage, you might convert part or all of it into an ADU. If you have enough room, you could also build a small unit in your backyard. Additionally, you might transform your basement, attic, or other parts of your home into an ADU, which can boost your home’s value and usability.
