FLEXIBLE LIVING SOLUTIONS FOR MODERN HOMEOWNERS

WHAT IS AN ADU?

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are fully independent living spaces built on the same property as a primary home. Designed with their own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area, ADUs can be attached to the main residence, converted from existing structures, or constructed as separate backyard cottages—bringing versatility and value to property owners. These units are gaining momentum across Florida as a smart way to maximize space, support multigenerational living, and respond to evolving housing needs.

PRACTICAL BENEFITS AND SMART INVESTMENT

WHY CHOOSE AN ADU?

  • Expand Your Living Space: Provide comfortable housing for aging parents, adult children, caregivers, or long-term guests while maintaining privacy for everyone.
  • Generate Income: ADUs can be rented out as long-term homes or made available for short-term stays (subject to local regulations), offering a reliable source of extra income. 
  • Increase Property Value: Adding an ADU enhances the utility and market appeal of your property, often boosting overall resale value. 
  • Support Affordable, Sustainable Living: ADUs make efficient use of existing land, add housing options with minimal environmental impact, and help address community housing needs without dramatically altering neighborhood character.
