ADUs
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are becoming an increasingly popular solution for homeowners looking to maximize the utility and value of their property. These versatile structures, whether used to capitalize on a stunning view, create an Airbnb rental, or build a cozy in-law suite (also known as a Granny flat), offer a myriad of benefits. ADUs provide a practical and attractive option for those who want their loved ones nearby, avoiding the need for a retirement home, or simply desire extra living space for friends and family. Homeowners are discovering that ADUs not only enhance their property's functionality but also provide a unique way to generate additional income or accommodate multigenerational living.
