An Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU, is an additional living space on your property, most commonly in your backyard. ADUs are popular home additions because they can be optimized to fit your specific needs and their often-detached nature means you can expand your living space without the hassle of home construction or remodeling. Whether you call it a granny flat, cottage, casita, or in-law suite, an ADU comes in many sizes and styles.

While 2020 was a year filled with uncertainty – it also offered the opportunity to make space for new ideas, hobbies, and pursuits. Indeed, more people turned their focus inward and used this time to revamp their home spaces.

Partnership with Acorn Finance makes backyard sheds and ADU home improvement projects more attainable during pandemic.
