What is an ADU?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary housing unit that can be added to a single-family property. These units, which can offer up to 900 sq ft of living space, may be detached, attached, or located within the main residence. ADUs provide a versatile solution for expanding your living space while enhancing property value.
