What is an ADU?

An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a secondary housing unit built on your property that provides complete independent living facilities. Often called granny flats, in-law suites, or backyard cottages, ADUs have separate entrances, kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces while sharing the same lot as your main home.

ADUs come in several forms to suit your specific needs. A Garage Conversion transforms your existing garage into a comfortable living space. Room Additions extend your current home with a dedicated ADU entrance. Detached ADUs stand independently in your backyard, while Attached ADUs connect to your main house while maintaining separate living quarters. Each option offers unique benefits for Pacoima homeowners looking to maximize their property’s potential.
