Accessory Dwelling Units

Accessory Dwelling Units, commonly known as ADUs, have become one of the most talked-about housing solutions in California—and for good reason. Whether used for rental income, multigenerational living, or long-term property value growth, ADUs offer homeowners a flexible and increasingly valuable improvement option. Understanding how ADUs work, who qualifies to build one, and how California and local regulations affect your project is essential before getting started.
