Detached ADU
Standing separate from the main house, detached ADUs are akin to a second, smaller home on the same property. Families often use these for rental income, providing a private living space for tenants. Alternatively, they serve as independent living quarters for adult children or as a private retreat for visiting guests, offering both proximity and privacy.
Garage Conversion ADU
Transforming a garage into a living space is a cost-effective way to utilize existing structures on the property without the need for a new foundation. These units are perfect for homeowners looking to create a dedicated space for aging parents, allowing them to live close by while maintaining their independence. They can also serve as a home office or studio, providing a quiet and separated workspace.
Attached ADU
These units share a wall with the main home but have a separate entrance, combining accessibility with privacy. Attached ADUs are ideal for multigenerational living, making it easy for families to support each other while keeping living spaces distinct. They can also be used for long-term guests, offering them their own space while keeping them close to the family activities.
Imagine your perfect home.
