First of all..

What is an ADU?

An ADU is an ‘Accessory Dwelling Unit’ (AKA a back house, a granny flat, an in-law unit). It is becoming increasingly popular around the world but especially in LA county and let me tell you 5 reasons why.

1. Increases Property Value: According to Architects LA, ADUs can increase your property value by a shocking 30%! If thats not enough

2. LA County ADU loan pilot program: This program provides homeowners with a forgivable loan of $75,000 to construct a new ADU that houses people transitioning out of homelessness

3. Adds housing units without compromising the character of the neighborhoods: We love a high-rise moment or a classy apartment complex but LA County has some of the strictest characters in residential areas. With the addition of an ADU, housing can be doubled without compromising the precious LA character

4. Helps combat lack of homes in overpopulated areas and homelessness crisis: Increased affordable housing = less people on the streets.

5. Extra space for work, play, rent, or stay!: We could all use a little extra living space. Whether it’s for some alone work time or a pilates session or even to be able to rent out and save up for a college fund, an ADU can provide all of these benefits.

Bonus!! Design, permitting, and construction can be done through theplushus.com for the easiest and quickest set up
