When placing an anchored Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on your property, state laws generally allow construction on any property zoned as single-family or multi-family, regardless of location, HOA rules, or other local regulations, as long as you have sufficient space.
The most common placement is in the backyard, but you also have the option to build in the side yard or even the front yard. The feasibility of these placements depends on considering setbacks, local regulations, and any unique easements on your property. Ensuring compliance with these factors is crucial to successfully integrating an ADU into your property.
Because our ADUs are stick-built on-site, you have extensive options to customize our base models or even design a custom ADU from scratch.
Customization Options:
- External Color: Choose the perfect color to complement your primary home or make a bold statement.
- External Finish Materials: Select materials that either match your existing home or create a unique look.
- Internal Finishes: From flooring to tiles, countertops to appliances, every detail inside your ADU can be tailored to your taste.
- Internal Wall Colors: Pick the colors that reflect your style and create the ambiance you want.
- Shower Features: Customize with options like a metal shower, porcelain shower, or a glass door.
- Kitchen Features: Design your dream kitchen with customizable sink styles, countertop materials, cabinet colors, and more.
These are just some of the key elements you can personalize. The possibilities for your new ADU are nearly endless, ensuring you get the space you've always imagined.
