ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit. These are secondary housing units built on a single-family residential lot. They can be attached or detached structures providing independent living quarters.
Potential downsides can include initial construction costs and the need for careful planning regarding utilities and access. Some homeowners may also consider the impact on their existing yard space. We help you evaluate these factors.
