Types of ADU’s (Accessory Dwelling Units)
The demand for housing is continual in all markets. An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) allows flexibility for a family to stay close to one another in a more affordable way, while enjoying the comforts of your own private space. Looking for income potential on your property? An ADU is the answer here as well! Is your lot big enough to accommodate an ADU? Lot size is not a consideration for these builds, however square footage for the new space as well as your local set backs for maximizing the new space will be. Let’s start the conversation today!
