Can a Barndominium Be an ADU?
ADUs (accessory dwelling units) have grown in popularity as self-contained small homes built on the same property as a larger primary residence. Given their customizable and budget-friendly nature, barndominiums make an ideal ADU solution. Let’s explore how steel barndos can transform into the perfect ADUs.
What is an ADU?
ADUs are secondary dwellings built in addition to a main home on the same lot. They contain living essentials like a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living space. ADUs share utility connections and the address of the existing home, functioning as independent units. Common ADU types include converted garages, tiny backyard cottages, and additions.
ADU Benefits
ADUs appeal to homeowners for several reasons:
– Provide rental income from unused space
– Accommodate relatives affordably
– Create home offices without sacrificing main home space
– Add accessible housing for those with limited mobility
– Increase property values by better utilizing land
