An Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU, is a secondary housing unit located on the same lot as a primary residential building. ADUs are gaining popularity, especially in places like Los Angeles, where housing is in high demand. These units can take various forms, including detached units, garage conversions, or attached additions to your home. But why should you consider building one?
- Generate Rental Income
One of the top reasons homeowners invest in ADUs is for rental income. With the rising cost of living, renting out an ADU can provide steady, passive income that helps cover your mortgage or other expenses. - Increase Property Value
Adding an ADU significantly increases the value of your property. Buyers see an ADU as a flexible space—whether for rental income, guest housing, or home office use. By building an ADU, you’re not only expanding your living space but also making a long-term financial investment. - Multigenerational Living
ADUs are perfect for families looking to keep loved ones close, yet independent. Whether it’s aging parents who want to retain their privacy or adult children who need their own space, ADUs offer a solution for multigenerational living while maintaining autonomy. - Sustainability and Downsizing
ADUs are often more energy-efficient than larger homes and allow for downsizing without losing the perks of private living. Many homeowners are choosing to live in their ADU while renting out the main home.
