Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
BENEFITS OF ADUS
ADUs are an affordable type of home to construct in California because they do not require paying for land or major new infrastructure.
ADUs can provide a source of income for homeowners. An ADU has its own kitchen, living area, and a separate entrance. An ADU may be attached to a house or garage, or it can also be built as a stand-alone unit.
ADUs are built with cost-effective wood frame construction. ADUs allow extended families to be near one another while maintaining privacy.
ADUs can provide as much living space as many newly-built apartments and condominiums, and they are suited well for couples, small families, friends, young people, and seniors.
ADUs give homeowners the flexibility to share independent living areas with family members and others, allowing seniors to age in place as they require more care.
