ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit – or an ADUela as we call it. Used personally or rented out, ADUs are built as a secondary house or apartment that shares the same property as a larger, primary home. They’re also known as in-law suites, granny flats, casitas, guest houses, backyard cottages, Airbnbs etc.
Cities, counties, and municipalities now see how ADUs can help resolve issues around housing shortages and affordable housing. So, they’ve revised their development ordinances to allow ADUs on most lots as a less expensive way to add housing for both rental or overflow space.
ADUs provide overflow and additional living space (ADUela Living) away from the main house and offer an income opportunity (ADUela Income).
• Need more space but don’t want to move? ADUs provide that second living space, home gym, rec room, pool house, and more
• Work from home? Create a private home office.
• Family and friends visiting? Provide the ideal guest suite.
• Does a loved one need a place to live? Build an ADU that fits your family’s needs — single story, garage apartment, or whatever your vision is.
• Want some additional income? Build your ADUela as an Airbnb rental OR build yourself an ADUela to rent out your main home.
• Already own a rental property? Put a SECOND rental property on your lot for a fraction of the cost of buying another property.

Yes - ADUs are intended to connect to the sewer and water service of the primary residence. In most cases, we’ll tie into the sewer line outside of the main residence and water lines through the foundation of the house. We will attempt to tie into the current electrical service; however, we’ll add a separate electric panel for the house if needed.
