Which ADU is Right for You?
Learn about the different types of ADUs, explore design possibilities, and find the best fit for your property.
Detached ADU
- A freestanding structure separate from the main house, offering complete independence.
- Best for: Homeowners looking for privacy, rental income, or a self-contained living space.
- Customization options include size, layout, and features like separate utilities and private outdoor areas.
- Typically requires larger lot space and may have specific zoning and setback requirements.
Attached ADU
- Converts existing spaces—like garages, basements, attics, or sheds—into functional living units.
- Best for: Homeowners seeking a lower-cost, faster ADU option without new construction.
- A great way to maximize underutilized spaces while adhering to property constraints.
- Includes Junior ADUs (JADUs), which repurpose interior space into compact, efficient units.

Junior ADUs (JADUs)
- A smaller type of ADU (up to 500 sq. ft.) built within the main home.
- Typically converts existing rooms like spare bedrooms or garages into independent units.
- Shares some utilities (kitchen or bathroom) with the main house, making it a cost-effective ADU solution.
- A great option for multigenerational living, rentals, or home offices.
Prefab ADUs
- Factory-built units delivered and installed on-site.
- A faster and more streamlined option compared to traditional ADU construction.
- Available in pre-designed models or customizable layouts.
- Reduces on-site construction time and labor costs.
