What is an ADU? A separate home on the property you already own.
Granny flat, backyard home, carriage house, in-law unit, guest house — all names for an accessory dwelling unit: a self-contained home with its own entrance, living, kitchen and sleeping areas, attached to or detached from the main house.
The ADU Movement
Why California is making ADUs easier to build.
Given the low supply and high cost of housing, California enacted legislation that promotes ADU construction and requires cities to make it easier for homeowners to build them. We’re working to advance awareness of ADUs and their long-term benefits to owners and communities.
Use your space to earn
An ADU, in-law unit or granny flat built in underused yard space can provide ongoing income and long-term capital appreciation.
Be closer to family
A new ADU can bring an aging parent close to family while preserving everyone’s privacy.
Jump-start their future
Give adult children their own space and a chance to save money as they launch their careers.
Housing for the future
Designed for your future needs, an ADU lets you age comfortably at home — and frees the main house to rent or for family.
Flexible space for visitors
A place for friends and family to stay — and a home office or studio the rest of the time.
The ADU Life Cycle
One home that changes
as your life does.
The versatility of an ADU is one of its greatest benefits.

Home for parents
Close to family, with privacy for all.
03
Home base for kids
A place to land while they save.

Stay near friends, doctors and community.
