WHAT ARE ADUs?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary dwelling unit that is attached or detached from a primary residence. ADUs are often referred to as granny flats, in-law units, or secondary units.

Accessory Dwelling Units can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
‍
• Guest quarters
• Home offices
• Rental units
• Mother-in-law suites

WHY BUILD AN ADU?

There are many reasons why homeowners decide to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit. Some people want to have a place for guests to stay, while others want to generate rental income. Others see ADUs as a way to downsize their living space without having to move.

Building an ADU is a great way to add value to your home and create additional living space. Accessory Dwelling Units are becoming increasingly popular in Los Angeles as more people look for ways to maximize their property.

TYPES OF ADUs

There are two main types of Accessory Dwelling Units: attached and detached. Attached ADUs are typically built as an addition to an existing home, while detached ADUs are stand-alone structures.
‍
Attached ADUs: Attached Accessory Dwelling Units are typically less expensive to build than detached units, as they share some infrastructure with the primary residence. Attached ADUs are often built as part of a home addition or garage conversion.
‍
Detached ADUs: Detached Accessory Dwelling Units offer more privacy and independence than their attached counterparts. They also tend to be more expensive to build, as they require their own foundation, utilities, and other infrastructure.
‍
Garage conversion ADUs: A garage conversion ADU is created by converting an existing garage into a living space. Garage conversion ADUs are a popular option for homeowners who want to add an Accessory Dwelling Unit to their property without having to build an entirely new structure.
