What is a Junior ADU?

 

A Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (Junior ADU) is a smaller, self-contained living space typically created within an existing single-family home. It is designed to provide additional living space while maintaining the character of the main residence.

 

Key Features of a Junior ADU:

 

- Size: Junior ADUs are generally up to 500 square feet, making them a compact yet functional option for homeowners looking to maximize their property’s potential.

  

- Separate Living Area: A Junior ADU includes its own entrance, kitchen or kitchenette, bathroom, and living area, offering privacy and independence for residents.

 

- Flexible Use: Ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or rental opportunities, Junior ADUs provide versatile options for homeowners.

 

- Cost-Effective: Building a Junior ADU can be a more affordable way to expand living space compared to traditional home additions, as it utilizes existing structures.
