Add Space with ADU

Invest into an ADU in your backyard to add more livable space for rental income, work, home school, man cave, she shed, guest house, home for your adult kid or parent.

ADU is a small home

Detached ADU is a small house. Backyard home, officially called Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), also known as granny unit, secondary home, in-law unit, garden or backyard cottage, coach house, casita, pool house or even a bunkie, is the best, and fast, way to add more space to your house. It is not a shed, it will have eating, living, hygiene and sleeping facilities. Its permitting is streamlined. You can get it built in 6 months (time to permit excluded). It is flexible in use and can be rented out when not needed by the family. A detached accessory dwelling unit does not trigger tax increase for the main house. It increases the home value. Investing in your backyard is literally a no regret move.
