AARP is conducting a survey about vital housing options like accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in your community. An ADU is an independent, permanent residential unit, containing a living area, kitchen, and bathroom, built on the same lot as an existing single-family house. ADUs can be attached to or detached from the main house. Other terms like in-law unit, carriage house, or garage apartment are often used to describe an ADU. ADUs can enable older adults to remain in their current residence with live-in care; make it possible for younger adults to assist their aging parents, other relatives and loved ones; or generate rental income for a homeowner.
