Are you planning to build an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) this spring? Also known as mother-in-law apartments, granny flats and secondary dwelling units, ADUs are home additions built within your property. They can be renovated from an unused garage or basement, or can be built as room additions connected to your main home. They can even be built separately in your home’s backyard if you have the space!
But did you know that ADUs can also be good for the local environment?
ADUs are one of the most environmentally-friendly housing options because of their efficient use of land. However, the use of quality materials and existing infrastructure also contribute to their sustainability. Since ADUs use fewer materials, they don’t make a big impact on natural resources and manufacturing/shipping costs for the products.
You can design your ADU according to your personal preferences or for a senior adult in your family so that they have more independence at home. You can even consider having an ADU as additional rental income. After all, they are designed to have all the basic features like a full kitchen, bath, bedroom and living space.
