ADUs For Family Members
Build an ADU to provide affordable housing for your loved ones.
By far, the most popular reason to build an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is to provide an affordable housing solution for family members.
ELDERLY FAMILY MEMBERS
As your loved ones get a little older, an ADU provides a great solution to keep them close by, yet independent. ADUs for family members also provide significant savings versus separate living quarters or assisted living facilities.
FAMILY MEMBERS with disabilities
If you care for a loved one that has a disability, an ADU can often be a great way to ensure they have all of the love and support they need, but are also able to live on their own and develop autonomy. Your ADU can be outfitted with any needed accommodations to provide a healthy and happy living space.
CHILDREN GROWING UP
As your children grow up and start on the road to independence, an ADU can be a great way for them to live on their own, but still be close by. Many parents will charge their young adult child a reduced rent rate while they are living in the ADU, and then rent the ADU out to someone else after their child has grown up and moved into their very own place.
Accessory Dwelling Unit Conversion Types
convert existing space
Converting existing space in your home into a rent-able Accessory Dwelling Unit can be the most cost effective conversion approach when you have un-utilized or underutilized space available.
GARAGE CONVERSION
Converting your garage into an ADU can be a great way to utilize space in space in your home, without having to build a full addition.
Home addition
Building an addition onto your house is the best solution when your ADU needs to be attached and you don’t yet have extra space in your home. Additions can be made to the top, side, or underneath your primary structure and can be custom built to suit your needs.
Detached ADU
A Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit is a free-standing structure that is not attached to the primary structure. This option is the best way to maximize privacy. Detached ADUs are only permitted in duplex and multi-family zones.
