Detached ADU

A detached ADU is a separate living space situated on the same property as a primary residence. Unlike attached ADUs or internal conversions, detached units are standalone structures, providing occupants with a distinct sense of privacy, independence, and ownership. This autonomy makes detached ADUs particularly appealing for a variety of purposes, from accommodating family members and guests to generating rental income or serving as a dedicated workspace.

The design of detached ADUs can vary widely, ranging from compact studio apartments to multi-room cottages, depending on the preferences and needs of the homeowner. Typically, these units include essential amenities such as a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, and living area, offering all the comforts and conveniences of a traditional home within a more compact and efficient footprint.
