Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) are small houses or apartments that exist on the same property lot as a single-family residence — this traditional home type is re-emerging as an affordable and flexible housing option that meets the needs of older adults and young families alike.

Some Benefits of Accessory Dwelling Units:

  • ADUs can enable homeowners to provide needed housing for their parents, adult children, grandchildren or other loved ones.
  • An ADU can provide older adults a way to downsize on their own property while a tenant or family member resides in the larger house.
