An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a self-contained living unit that can be located on the same property as a primary residence. ADUs can either be attached to the primary residence (such as a basement or garage conversion) or can be stand-alone structures (such as a small cottage or guest house).
Other names for ADUs include granny flats, in-law suites, laneway houses, backyard cottages, and secondary suites. They are typically smaller in size compared to a typical single-family home, but still contain all the necessary amenities for independent living, such as a kitchen, bathroom, and living space. ADUs are becoming increasingly popular as a way to increase housing density and address the shortage of affordable housing in many areas.
In addition to being used as a separate living unit, there are a variety of alternate uses for this type of structure, such as providing a dedicated workspace, serving as a guest house, or even being used as a source of rental income. They can also be utilized for aging in place, storage, music studios, home gyms, or combined workspace and living space for entrepreneurs and freelancers.
