What Does ADU Stand For?
ADU is an acronym for Accessory Dwelling Unit.
In practice, an ADU is a self-contained living unit located on the same property as another primary building like a single-family home or duplex. It can be located entirely within to the primary residence, such as a basement apartment or an attic conversion, it can be attached like an addition or it can be detached, like a standalone cottage or converted garage. They also have a lot of different names depending on where you live. If you hear laneway suite, garden suite, casita, granny flat, guest house, or even backyard dwelling, they are talking about an ADU. Although small in size, ADUs are full homes with foundations, kitchens, bathrooms, living and sleeping space.
ADUs are becoming increasingly popular as a way to provide additional housing options, accommodate multi-generational living, and generate rental income while utilizing existing yard space more efficiently. ADUs are great investments and can increase the value of your property while also generating rental income.
