ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit. These are secondary housing units built on a single-family residential lot. They offer independent living quarters and can be attached or detached from the main home.
Potential downsides can include the initial construction investment and navigating local permitting processes. Homeowners might also consider the impact on their yard space and the ongoing responsibilities of property ownership. We help you evaluate these.
