ADUs \u2013 What are they and why do you need one?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maybe you haven\u2019t heard the term ADU, but what about in-law suites, guesthouses, secondary suites or tiny homes. Nowadays, ADUs \u201caccessory dwelling units\u201d are more than just homes for your parents or relatives\u2014they are being utilized as rental homes to offset a homeowner\u2019s own mortgage. Built as a secondary housing unit on an existing single-family residence, ADUs can be a smart long-term investment.<\/p>\n

Upswing in cities approving ADUs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Portland, Oregon has been one of the major cities leading the way on ADUs, but now city municipalities in other states are modifying and changing property laws to accommodate these dwellings too. We have seen an upswing in local governments approving new laws or adjusting existing law to allow for such living spaces on homeowner properties. Just recently, Boise, Idaho amended their ADU requirements<\/a> so the dwellings can now be up to 700 sq ft. and 2-bedrooms.<\/p>\n

Is an ADU right for you?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many people are turning away from larger homes and looking for a smaller, more economical, simpler ways of living during the new \u201ctiny home\u201d movement. ADUs offer a solution for people needing their own dedicated living space, but with lower rent than traditional housing rentals.<\/p>\n

Building an ADU on your existing residential property could be a profitable investment for your family. These smaller stick-built homes can be more feasible solutions for those wanting to enter into the rental market. Or maybe it\u2019s time to move your parents near you into a more compact, lower maintenance living space. These are just some of the many reasons, homeowners are building ADUs on their current properties.<\/p>\n

Where to start<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ve determined you need an ADU, so now where to start. First, research your local city\u2019s laws on ADUs for determining size, setbacks and other guidelines.
