California’s housing crunch has led to creative solutions, and none are more impactful than the rise of ADUs—Accessory Dwelling Units. Whether it’s to house aging parents, generate rental income, or simply expand livable space, ADUs are transforming the way we think about residential property.
What is an ADU?
An ADU is a secondary living unit on a residential lot. It can be detached (like a backyard cottage), attached (an extension of your main home), or even built over your garage.
Why Are ADUs Booming in California?
- Affordability: Compared to buying a new home, ADUs offer a lower-cost solution to increase living space.
- Rental Income: With high demand for rentals, homeowners can earn passive income through Airbnb or long-term leases.
- Multigenerational Living: Families are using ADUs to keep loved ones close while maintaining privacy.
- Property Value: ADUs often increase the market value of your home.
