What is an ADU? Everything You Need to Know About Accessory Dwelling Units

Are you looking to maximize your property’s potential or create additional living space? An ADU might be the perfect solution. But what exactly is an ADU? Let’s dive into this increasingly popular home addition trend, and discover why White and White Construction, your trusted local experts, are the ideal partners for your ADU project.

Defining ADU: Accessory Dwelling Unit

An ADU, or Accessory Dwelling Unit, is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. These self-contained living spaces are equipped with their own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area. ADUs can be attached to the main house, built as a separate structure, or converted from existing space like a garage or basement.

Types of ADUs

  1. Detached ADUs: Standalone structures separate from the main house
  2. Attached ADUs: Connected to the primary residence, often sharing a wall
  3. Interior ADUs: Converted spaces within the main house, such as attics or basements
  4. Garage Conversions: Transforming an existing garage into living space

Benefits of Building an ADU

1. Additional Income

Renting out your ADU can provide a steady stream of extra income, helping offset mortgage costs or boost your savings.

2. Multigenerational Living

ADUs offer a perfect solution for families wanting to keep elderly parents close or adult children transitioning to independence, while maintaining privacy for all.

3. Increased Property Value

Adding an ADU can significantly boost your property’s market value, making it a smart long-term investment.

4. Flexible Space

Use your ADU as a home office, guest house, or rental unit as your needs change over time. This adaptability is especially valuable in today’s dynamic real estate market.
