ADU: Accesory Dwelling Unit
An accessory dwelling unit, usually just called an ADU, is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot.
ADUs can provide an easy source of rental income for homeowners and low-cost housing for renters. They also add manageable density to single-family areas where new apartment complexes would be difficult to construct.
But trying to build one isn’t necessarily easy, and navigating local rules regulating what is and what is not allowed on specific properties can be difficult, given that the state rules give local governments a lot of leeway to make their own regulations.
