What is an ADU? Another Trend or the Future of Housing?
An accessory dwelling unit is an additional housing unit that is built on a lot that already has one home. As the name suggests, an ADU is smaller than the existing home, ranging anywhere from 500 to 1,000 SF. Similar to a standard home, an ADU has all of the spaces and amenities needed for a tenant to live comfortably, including a kitchen, bathroom, living/sleeping spaces, and a completely separate entrance from the main unit, allowing for privacy.
