ABOVE -GARAGE ADU <br />DETACHED -BEDROOM ADU <br />DETACHED ADU <br />• An accessory dwelling unit is a small residence that <br />shares a single-family lot with a larger primary dwelling. <br />• As an independent living space, an ADU is self-contained, <br />with its own kitchen or kitchenette, bathroom and <br />living/sleeping area. (Garage apartments and backyard <br />cottages are each a type of ADU.) <br />• ADUs can enable homeowners to provide needed <br />housing for their parents, adult children, grandchildren <br />or other loved ones. <br />• An ADU can provide older adults a way to downsize on <br />their own property while a tenant or family member <br />resides in the larger house. <br />• Since homeowners can legally rent out an ADU house or <br />apartment, ADUs are an often -essential income source. <br />• ADUs help to improve housing affordability and diversify <br />a community's housing stock without changing the <br />physical character of a neighborhood. <br />• ADUs are a beneficial — and needed — housing option <br />for people of all ages. <br />Learn more about ADUs and <br />Sign up for the free, weekly <br />Communities <br />kL Ad <br />Be among the first to learn when <br />AARP releases more livability <br />guides and resources. <br />AAM :orglL►vav►esuascr►De <br />D2o473 <br />
