What is an ADU

Accessory dwelling unit, granny flat, backyard home, guest house, these are all different terms for an ADU. ADUs can be attached or detached from the main house and are a separate living unit complete with its own entrance, living, kitchen and sleeping areas. ADU conversions give you a quick and easy way of converting a garage into an apartment or additional living space. Typically, ADU are smaller than the main family home and are fully equipped.

Types of ADU

  • Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU): Essentially a mini home, an ADU is a self-contained living space that sits within or beside a single-family dwelling. ADUs are typically attached to the main property and cannot be sold separately.
  • Detached ADU: A self-standing structure that is entirely separate from the main dwelling. Often called backyard cottages, carriage homes, or laneway houses, these types of ADUs provide independent living quarters.
  • Attached ADU/ Garage Conversion: This refers to an ADU that shares a common wall with the main house, such as a converted basement or garage, or an in-law unit. These can also be referred to as ‘Granny Flats’, although the terminology isn’t exclusive.
