An Accessory Dwelling Unit can provide additional living space and flexibility on an existing property.


How Will You Use the ADU?

ADUs can be designed for:

  • Family members

  • Aging parents

  • Adult children

  • Guests

  • Home offices

  • Independent living space

  • Potential rental use where permitted


Attached or Detached?

An ADU may be incorporated into an existing home or constructed as a separate structure depending on the property and applicable requirements.


Utilities Matter

Water, sewer, electrical, gas, and HVAC requirements should be evaluated early because they can significantly affect the project's design and cost.


Check Local Requirements

ADU requirements can vary by location. Property setbacks, size limitations, parking, utilities, permitting, and other requirements should be reviewed before construction.


Design for Long-Term Use

A good ADU should maximize available space while providing comfortable living areas, storage, natural light, and practical kitchens and bathrooms.
