Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are an innovative way for single-family property owners to boost their property’s value while securing rental income. 

What Is An ADU?

An ADU is typically a smaller, additional living space that’s separate from a main residence. They’re perfect for family, caregivers or renters! Also known as in-law or guest apartments, an ADU may be added to, created within, or detached from a primary dwelling.

ADUs are a savvy way to earn extra income while providing affordable housing to our community. Every state has its own rules on what specifically defines an Accessory Dwelling Unit.  Examples include:

  • Living space over a garage
  • Living area in a basement
  • A small addition to a primary dwelling
  • A Manufactured Home*
