Updated: Jun 11, 2023

There are several types of Accessory dwelling units ADUs, including:

  1. Attached ADUs: These are attached to the primary residence and can share a wall, roof, or foundation. They are often built as an extension to an existing home, such as a garage or basement conversion.

  2. Detached ADUs: These are separate from the primary residence and can be located in the backyard, side yard, or front yard of a property. They can be standalone structures or built above a garage or workshop.


3. Garage Conversion JADUs: These are created by converting an existing garage into a livable space. This is a popular option because it is often cheaper than building a new structure.


The Types of Accessory dwelling units ADUs that is best for a property will depend on the size of the lot, zoning laws, and local building codes. Homeowners should consult with local authorities and a NPB Design Studio to determine the best type of ADU for their property.
