What are Accessory Dwelling Units?
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have been known by many names: mother-in-law units, backyard cottages, granny flats, accessory apartments, secondary units, and more. They can go by many names but no matter what you call them, ADUs are a very affordable option for living in small spaces. They are pretty cool options for informal housing. Heck, even the Fonz lived in one over Richie’s garage!
Flexibility in housing makes sense for many reasons including financial, availability, and lifestyle. Legally an ADU is part of the same property as the main home. It cannot be bought or sold separately, as a condominium or a dwelling on wheels might be. The owner of the ADU is the owner of the property the main home sits on. If you’re interested in an ADU Boston 5 Star Contractors Inc can help you navigate the complexities of requirements for setting one up on your property. Let us do the work for you!
Benefits of Accessory Dwelling Units
- They allow extended family or guests to remain nearby while affording them their privacy.
- They can provide a source of income for homeowners with the land available to place them on.
- ADUs often allow as much efficient living space as many condominiums or apartments and suit couples, seniors, and small families very well.
- They also allow flexibility to share the same space while retaining independent living areas. This can offer seniors the ability to age in place.
- They are an affordable type of home to construct because they do not require paying for land, major new infrastructure, structured parking, or elevators. Call Boston 5 Star Contractors Inc when you’re ready to learn more about ADU’s.
What are Junior Accessory Dwelling Units?
Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) are allowed to be created within the walls of a proposed or existing single-family residence and can be no more than 500 square feet. JADU's offer additional housing options and present no additional stress on utility services or infrastructure. They also present no additional stress on parents of teens who are looking for independence, but unable to demonstrate it!
Benefits of JADUs
- They may share central systems.
- Contain a basic kitchen utilizing small plug-in appliances.
- May share a bathroom with the primary dwelling.
- And reduce development costs
