An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) gives everyone the closeness they need without giving up privacy. If Mom needs a little more help day to day, she can live right in your backyard with her own kitchen, bath, and front door, and you're just a few steps away. If your grown kid isn't quite ready to leave the nest, an ADU gives them room to grow up and gain some independence while they save money and figure out their next move. Everyone gets their own space, the family stays close, and your property gains long-term value.
