An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), as described here, offers valuable versatility. It’s a secondary housing unit sharing the same property as the main home, often used to generate extra income or accommodate family members. ADUs come with pros, like added property value and potential extra income, but also cons, such as space considerations and increased costs. The decision to invest in one depends on various factors, including local regulations, maintenance, and financial considerations. ADUs can be an attractive option, but homeowners should do their due diligence before proceeding.

I appreciate your explanation when you told us that an ADU refers to a second dwelling unit with a separate entrance, kitchen, and living area that can be connected to the house or the garage. My sister will be staying in our house with her kids now that she is divorced, so we are considering connecting an ADU to the house soon for them to stay in. I’ll keep this in mind while I look for a contractor in Milpitas to contact about ADU installation soon.

When you add an ADU to your property, there are many different ways to use the space. They may be attached or detached and can be for your family’s personal use or for business income. An attached option may look like completing a garage conversion to turn unused car space into a fully functioning studio apartment with a kitchen and bathroom for rent or use by a family member.
