A Detached ADU is a House of its own. Right in your backyard!

[Felicia Nitu]

A detached ADU offers privacy, flexibility, and added property value. It can be up to 1,000 to 1,200 sq. ft., depending on location. If built on a multifamily property, you may be allowed up to 8 detached ADUs.

Benefits of a Detached ADU:

// More Privacy
Separate living space from the main home
Ideal for rental income, guests, or multi-generational living

// Added Property Value
Increases overall property appeal and potential resale value
Provides a long-term investment opportunity

// Independent Living
Allows for separate entrances and utilities
Creates a fully functional living space with its own kitchen and bathroom

For agents and investors, detached ADUs present a valuable opportunity for strong rental income and long-term appreciation. Agents can attract buyers looking for versatile housing options, while investors can maximize returns by adding highly desirable rental units to their portfolios.
