An ADU, which stands for accessory dwelling unit, essentially serves as a secondary housing unit on any single unit residential lot. There many different types of ADU, which include basement conversion ADU, detached new construction ADU, addition ADU, ADU above garages, and garage conversion ADU.
When it comes to your garage, converting it into an accessory dwelling unit may just be the best possible decision for your home, particularly in terms of costs and convenience.
Since the garage—which will basically serve as the shell of your ADU—is already constructed, you cut back on certain construction costs. A garage converted to an ADU fits in seamlessly with the rest of your house, and is likely to already have power and water, which means you won’t have to go out of your way to set up lighting and plumbing in your ADU.
Garage conversion accessory dwelling units are a subtle way to incorporate an additional living space in your single-family housing unit—it’s likely that any outsiders may not even take note of the fact that it is one!
