An Accessory Dwelling Unit, ADU, or Tiny Home is a residential living unit that is on the same parcel as a single-family dwelling or a multifamily structure. The ADU provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons, including space for living, sleeping, cooking, and eating and sanitation.
The outlook for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) is extremely positive, driven by a growing need for affordable housing, increased flexibility for homeowners, and potential benefits like increased property value. While specific rules vary locally, a proposed statewide ADU bill (A4854) aims to streamline the process and allow ADUs in most areas, offering a potential boost for the housing supply.
Increased Demand: ADUs are being seen as a way to address the housing shortage, especially in areas with high costs and limited rental options.

Multigenerational Living:
ADUs provide a solution for families looking to create independent spaces for aging parents or other relatives.
Financial Flexibility:
ADUs can be rented out, providing homeowners with a new income stream, or used for personal occupancy.
Property Value Enhancement:
Adding an ADU can increase the overall value of a property.
Detached also known as a Detached ADU (DADU), is a standalone dwelling unit built on the same property as the primary residence but not physically connected to it. These ADUs are typically constructed in the backyard or side yard and offer a separate living space with its own entrance, kitchen, and bathroom.
Attached (ADU) is a secondary, self-contained residential unit that is physically connected to the primary single-family home on the same property.
Here's what defines an attached ADU:
Shared Wall(s): The most defining characteristic is that it shares at least one common wall with the main dwelling.
Garage ADU is a type of ADU that is created from or integrated with a garage structure on a single-family property.
Above-Garage ADU (Carriage House): This refers to an ADU that is built on top of an existing or newly constructed garage.
Basement ADU , also commonly known as a basement apartment, in-law unit, or secondary suite, is a self-contained residential living space created within the existing basement of a single-family home.
Location: It's situated entirely or primarily underground, occupying the basement level of the main dwelling.
Attic ADU is a self-contained residential unit created by converting existing, unused attic space within a primary single-family home into a habitable living area. Here are the key characteristics that define an attic ADU: Internal Conversion: It's formed by renovating and adapting the attic level of an existing house.
Pool house ADU, When someone refers to a "pool house ADU," they are essentially talking about an ADU that happens to be located near a pool. The key is that it meets all the requirements of an ADU (full kitchen, bathroom, sleeping area) and is therefore a fully livable space.
