What is an ADU?

An Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a completely self-contained dwelling unit located upon the same lot as the primary dwelling. ADUs may be connected, detached, above garages, or be converted portions of existing spaces, such as basements or unused rooms. ADUs are legal in California, and they enjoy great popularity as a solution for limited housing and flexible living arrangements. 

Types of ADUs

In general, the most popular type of ADU would be a garage conversion. This is an example of a possible garage; we can fully transform that garage, which may be unproductive, into a fully functional living space that is excellent for either making money or housing a family. Everything will be taken care of, including structure, plumbing, insulation, permits, and finishing. 

Above-Garage ADUs

Above-Garage ADUs are certainly one of the best concepts on how you can utilize vertical space. The double-story area will be built above your garage, providing extra parking and storage space. And with open entrances, complete kitchen facilities, and modern restrooms, you can forget about privacy concerns.

Interior ADUs

Interior ADUs make use of existing space in your home, such as rooftops, basements, or underutilized rooms. Whether you’re hosting a caregiver or welcoming in-laws, an in-home ADU allows you to live freely while being close.

Although it may increase your assessed value, California Prop 13 ensures that your base tax rate remains stable. We help you understand the long-term financial implications.
