Property owners love this idea of building ADUs on their property to increase the living space or to generate additional income. Many people who have bought a property in a city construct an ADU in the backyard, live in the ADU while renting out the house. It provides them an option to enhance their income. Offering many advantages to the property owners, ADU housing in Los Angeles is gaining immense popularity.

Why are people advocating for ADUs?

More living space

When grandparents arrive to live with their kids or kids return after completing their graduation, the need for additional space increases.  Buying a new property can be way more expensive than building an accessory dwelling unit on the available area.

Rental space

With the increasing population in big cities, the demand for rented accommodation has also increased. The increasing demands have also caused the rental prices to touch new highs. ADUs can provide a practical option to increase rental spaces thus bringing down the rental prices to some extent. Many people believe that ADU housing can bring forth low rental characters and may contribute towards affordable housing goals.

If consider ADUs as the rental space, it can be an additional income source for property owners. Aging people living alone can use the property to boost their income.

Granny flats in Los Angeles also provide low-cost accommodation options for grandparents. The owner can use the primary house and build a granny flat for grandparents. It can offer both of them the required privacy while serving the space needs.
