01
About ADUs
ADUs are small living spaces that provide additional housing on a single-family property.
02
Financial Benefits
ADUs provide financial benefits through rental income, increased home value, tax benefits, aging in place and home sharing.
03
ADUs for Seniors
ADUs are increasingly popular for seniors facing the challenge of finding affordable and accessible housing that allows them to maintain their independence and quality of life.
04
Design & Construction
ADUs must meet local planning and zoning requirements. They are either stick-built on site or factory built. Hire a local, licensed contractor with experience building ADUs. There are many stages in any new construction. Creating an ADU is a multi-step process that requires focused follow-up. Here are some of the most important considerations in building an ADU.
